[Verse 1]

Father, Lord forgive me; know my mind is a city

Full of individuals sinning, yes it simply is ritual

No this lifestyle is pitiful, it's stressful like a syllable

We don't have parameters like iambic pentameter

No I don't have a manager, but I wanna meet her

Wanna feed her, wanna feel her, no I just want a believer

So I want to believe her, saying I won't get the fever

But she's really a heater, and now I really can't beat her. (no)

No now I'm at an intersection of NQRy like 59th & Lexington

This moment of reflection is perplexing

Cause when the four meet up, it's not a cake walk:

They're raising the bar, so I can't talk that fake talk

But it's seemingly impossible; I'm teeming with excuses

But break it down, and adverb should never make me blue it

But I blew it, going through it. Do I really wanna move it?

What do I want to do? Man, it's almost like I knew it

 

[Chorus]

Almost

But not quite

But close enough

That I just might

Almost

But not quite

Close enough

That I just might

 

[Verse 2]

Father, Lord, forgive me, I know nothing is right

In the heat of the night, like psychedelic color schemes in black and white

I'm flying and dying and crying and sliding and finding that it's

Easier to understand riddles when I'm rhyming

I'm seeing there's no reason but the fact that it's pleasing

I'm tryna seize the season, but the season is seizing my reason

I'd love to have nothing to do with it 'cause I wanna ruin it

But it's ruining me, and now I'm losing sleep

Now bridges are burning, my focus is turning, my soul isn't working

And when I start flirting, it's then I start hurting

Yeah I'm locking and loadin', rocking and rollin'

Stop it, that's not me, now I'm lost out on the sea

I hate that I'm in between, so I'm writing now

I'm tryna figure out how I can reroute, so I won't be heat-bound

But the heat now is low

Not that I'm cold, not that I froze

But now it's almost like I'm looking for a new home

 

[Chorus]

Almost

But not quite

But close enough

That I just might

Almost

But not quite

Close enough

That I just might
