[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
