The Almost Lyrics by Defences

Shadowlight

2024

[Verse 1: Cherry Duesbury]
Can't believe I almost fell for what the voice inside was telling me
I can't believe I almost let intruders win
Can you believe we almost had a taste and then got thrown back out again?
It's almost like only the opulent stay in
[Chorus: Cherry Duesbury]
Don't want a lifetime of living in the almost
No regrets, no unknowns
How much blood do we give before we're dry?
"Did you try?"
A lifetime of living in the almost
I came close, fell short, almost became
I almost gavе my hand up
[Post-Chorus: Cherry Duesbury]
There's only one outcomе from giving up
[Verse 2: Cherry Duesbury, William Alex Young]
It's almost always the same
Trying to hold on to the thrill of the chase
No way out
Of the perpetual race
Feels like I'm losing my mind
[Pre-Chorus: Cherry Duesbury]
Won't stop running 'cus I'm running out of time
I can't be my own demise but this might
[Chorus: Cherry Duesbury]
Don't want a lifetime of living in the almost
No regrets, no unknowns
How much blood do we give before we're dry?
"Did you try?"
A lifetime of living in the almost
I came close, fell short, almost became
I almost gave my hand up
[Post-Chorus: William Alex Young]
There's only one outcome from giving up
How many times around before the gold is struck?
[Breakdown: William Alex Young, Cherry Duesbury & William Alex Young]
There's only one outcome from giving up
And when all's said and done
I've got nothing to lose
Nothing to lose
[Bridge: Cherry Duesbury]
Got nothing left to lose
So I don't really have to choose
I could play and I might win
Or never play the game again
Never play the game again
[Chorus: Cherry Duesbury]
Don't want a lifetime of living in the almost
No regrets, no unknowns
How much blood do we give before we're dry?
"Did you try?"
A lifetime of living in the almost
I came close, fell short, almost became
I almost gave my hand up
[Post-Chorus: Cherry Duesbury]
Almost threw my hand away
But life's the only game I'll play
