My sister today was like "Have you heard 'Almost' by Bowling For Soup, yet?" and I said "No" and she said "I downloaded it, go listen, I think you'll really connect with it" and I was like "Pfft, whatev, bitch" <-- okay not really. But I DID listen to it, and it is so...good that I need to post the lyrics.
So this is for Mike, Nate, and for just about anyone else who I have liked from afar that I thought liked me too:
I almost got drunk at school, at fourteen
Where I almost made out with the homecoming queen
Who almost went on to be Miss Texas
But lost to a slut, with much bigger breastes
I almost dropped out, to move to LA
Where I was almost famous for almost a day
And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
Almost loved you
I almost wished you would've loved me too
I almost held up a grocery store
Where I almost did five years, and then seven more
Cause I almost got popped for a fight with a thug
Cause he almost made off with a bunch of the drugs
That I almost got hooked on, cause you ran away
And I wish I would've had the nerve to ask you to stay
And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
Almost had you
And I didn't even know it
You kept me guessing and now I'm destined
To spent my time missing you
I almost wish you would've loved me too
Here I go, thinking about all the things I could've done
I'm gonna need a forklift, cause all the baggage weighs a ton
I know we've had our problems, I can't remember one
I almost forgot to say something else
And if I can't fit it in, I'll keep it all to myself
I almost wrote a song about you today
But I tore it all up and I threw it away
And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
Almost had you
And I didn't even know it
You kept me guessing and now I'm destined
To spent my time missing you
And I almost had you
I almost wish you would've loved me too
