I almost got punked at school at 14 Where I almost got a hug from the homecoming queen Who almost went on to be Miss Texas But lost to a girl who sews her own dresses I almost went out and moved to L.A. 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 woulda loved me too I almost worked at a grocery store Where I almost did five years of sweeping the floor And I almost got popped for a fight, it's a shame Because the guy made off with my video game That I almost got hooked on 'cause you ran away And I wish I woulda 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 guessin' And now I'm destined To spend my time missin' you I almost wish you woulda loved me too Here I go thinkin' 'bout all the things I coulda done I'm gonna need a forklift 'cause all the baggage weighs a ton (Baggage weighs a ton) I know we 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 then 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 guessin' And now I'm destined To spend my time missin' you And I almost had you (Almost had you) Almost had you I almost wished you woulda loved me too (Wished you woulda loved me too)
