Almost Lover
Jasmine Thompson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your Fingertips Across My Skin
The Palm Trees Swayin In The Wind
Images
You Sang Me Spanish Lullabies
The Sweetest Sadness In Your Eyes
Clever Trick
I Never Want To See You Unhappy
I Thought Youd Want The Same
For Me
Goodbye My Almost Lover
Goodbye My Hopeless Dream
Im Trying Not To Think About You
Cant You Just Let Me Be
So Long My Luckless Romance
My Back Is Turned On You
Shouldov Known Youd Being Me Heartache
Almost Lovers Always Do
We Walked Along A Crowded Street
You Took My Hand And Danced With Me
Images
And When You Left You Kissed My Lips
You Told Me Youd Never Ever Forget These
Images
No
But I never Want To See You Unhappy
I Thought Youd Want The Same
For Me
Goodbye My Almost Lover
Goodbye My Hopeless Dream
Im Trying Not To Think About You
Cant You Just Let Me Be?
So Long My Luckless Romance
My Back Is Turned On You
Shouldov Known Youd Bring Me Heartache
Almost Lovers Always Do
I Cannot Go To The Ocean
I Cannot Drive The Streets At Night
I Cannot Wake Up In The Morning
Without You On My Mind
So Now Your Gone And Im Haunted
And I Bet Your Just Fine
Did I Make It That Easy
To Walk Right In And Out Of My Life
Goodbye My Almost Lover
Goodbye My Hopeless Dream
Im Trying Not To Think About You
Cant You Just Let Me Be
So Long My Luckless Romance
My Back Is Turned On You
Shouldve Known Youd Bring Me Heartache




Almost Lovers Always Do
(End)

Overall Meaning

The song Almost Lover by Jasmine Thompson tells the story of a love that was not meant to be. The lyrics are full of imagery and detail, creating a vivid picture of the relationship and its eventual end. The singer reminisces about the moments spent with her lover, describing the way his fingertips felt on her skin and the way the palm trees swayed in the wind. She recalls the sweetest sadness in his eyes and the Spanish lullabies he sang to her.


Despite the love they shared, the singer knows that they are not meant to be together. She never wants to see him unhappy, but she thought he would want the same for her. As they say their final goodbyes, the singer is haunted by thoughts of him. She cannot go to the ocean or drive the streets at night without him on her mind. She wonders if she made it too easy for him to walk in and out of her life.


The song's lyrics are full of emotion and relatable themes of love, loss, and heartbreak. The sorrowful melody and Jasmine Thompson's haunting vocals add to the song's emotional impact.
