Almost Was Good Enough

It's been hard doing anything
Winter's stuck around so long
I kept trying anyhow and I'm still trying now
Just to keep working, just to keep working

I remember when this didn't use to be so hard
This used to be impossible
New season has got to begin
I can feel it leaning in, whispering

Nothing's lonely now
Nothing anymore in pain
Nothing's lonely now
Nothing anymore in pain

Then a tall shadow dressed
The way that secrets always dress
And they want everyone to know that they're around

Comes leaning in, comes whispering
"My friend over there don't know what she's talking about"
Did you really believe? come one, did you really believe?
That everyone makes it out?
Almost no one makes it out
Almost no one makes it out

Think I'll pack it in
Buy a pickup, head it down to L.A
Maybe find the place
That we can fix up, start a brand-new day

The woman I'm thinking of, she loves me all up
And I'm so down today
She's so fine, she's in my mind
I can hear her calling from my big brass bed

See the lonely boys out on the weekend
Trying to make it pay
See the lonely boys out on the weekend
Trying to make it right

I'm gonna use them streets to hide
From that human doubt
Hide from what was shining
Has finally burned me out

Once almost was good enough
Almost was good enough
Almost was good enough
For once, almost was good enough
Almost was good enough
Almost was good enough

Thanks to the guy behind the soundboard
He's our best friend
He's the real star of the show
Yeah, that's right
