Heartbreak after heartbreak
And it makes me want to call you out of nowhere
Cause I still care
But then no good ever came from asking
Dangerous questions
Like, what if I’d stayed?
It almost makes me regret walking away
But I know you’ll always be
Almost my hometown James Dean
Almost eighteen and married
Maybe then I’d only be half as lonely as I am right now
Almost the girl of your dreams
Almost too damn easy
But in the end the most we’d ever be is
Half in love and almost happy
I know I’m the bad guy in your story
But you’re better for it really
And it’s ok if you hate me
Cause I became the most
Dangerous question
Like, what if I’d stayed?
Or what if we tried one more time
Then would everything change?
But I know you’ll always be
Almost my hometown James Dean
Almost eighteen and married
Maybe then I’d only be half as lonely as I am right now
Almost the girl of your dreams
Almost too damn easy
But in the end the most we’d ever be is
Half in love and almost happy
Ghost of everything I could have had
You’re haunting all of my dreams
Dreams dreams dreams
You’re popping up in corners of my mind I only feel when I sleep
I digging ghosts up out of closets cause I want to try them on for the night
And you know I only want you when it’s midnight playing tricks on my mind
But I know you’ll always be
Almost my hometown James Dean
Almost eighteen and married
Maybe then I’d only be half as lonely as I am right now
Almost the girl of your dreams
Almost too damn easy
But in the end the most we’d ever be is
Half in love and almost happy
We were almost, almost happy
Almost happy
