Picture this, it’s innocent
‘Cause I haven’t even held your hand yet
Do you know that you’ve been coming up in my dreams?
You let me know in subtle ways
You’re down to go way out of your way
You drive me home and I wanna die
‘Cause you say good night when we get there
I almost rode you there in the back seat
My heart was beating, you could have had me
Yeah, I know that you were thinking about it
It’s always gonna be a “What could have happened?”
Oh God, the moment, it was so cinematic
I think the ending’s almost better without a kiss, almost
Almost
Almost
Almost
We never speak of that night in June
In my mind, I was running away with you
You send me songs that we listen to
I wondered what you’re thinking
I’m causal in the way I ask<br:"Are you seeing anyone?" And you're looking back
It was you and me in another life
So you know my mind’s still thinking
I almost rode you there in the back seat
My heart was beating, you could have had me
Yeah, I know that you were thinking about it
It’s always gonna be a “What could have happened?”
Oh God, the moment, it was so cinematic
I think the ending’s almost better without a kiss, almost
Almost
Almost
Almost
Am I the idiot that didn’t take chances?
Am I hopeless or was it kinda romantic?
If it was nothing, how’d we let it get so damn close?
I almost rode you there in the back seat
My heart was beating, you could have had me
I know the both of us were thinking about it
I guess we’ll never know what could have happened
Oh God, the moment, it’s still so cinematic
I think the ending’s almost better without a kiss, almost
Almost
Almost
Almost
