[Chorus]

Almost got what I want

Almost found what I lost

Almost saved you and myself

Almost won but it doesn't count

And never does

Never does

[Verse 1]

One green light

One more ring of the telephone

One more step

One more second

And I almost

Almost

[Chorus]

Almost got what I want

Almost found what I lost

Almost saved you and myself

Almost won but it doesn't count

And never does

Never does

[Verse 2]

One hello

Just one kiss before the tears come

One yes

One chance

And I almost

Almost, almost, almost

[Chorus]

Almost got what I want

Almost found what I lost

Almost saved you and myself

Almost won but it doesn't count

And never does

Never does

[Bridge]

One day, one year

5,000 weeks

A life of good works and good deeds

Let me be, let me be closer

Or let me be

Let me be

Let me be

[Chorus]

When I've almost got what I want

Almost found what I lost

Almost saved you and myself

Almost won but it doesn't count

And never does

Never does

[Verse 3]

One good guess

A question with an answer that I know

One idea

One grand notion

And I almost

Almost, almost, almost

[Chorus]

Almost got what I want

Almost found what I lost

Almost saved you and myself

Almost won but it doesn't count

And never does

Never does

Never does

Never does
