Almost Yours

Lyrics

I see you in the distance, just beyond my reach, Your smile’s like the sunset, fading from the beach. I’m calling out your name, but it’s lost in the wind, Every step I take, it feels like I’m slipping back again. (Pre-Chorus) You’re the dream I can’t wake up from, the wish that won’t come true, You’re the heartbeat I can’t capture, no matter what I do. (Chorus) Almost yours, but never mine, Caught between the seconds and the time. I’m a whisper in your shadow, a tear that never falls, In this dance of love, I’m just a step behind the walls. Almost yours, but never mine, Lost in the spaces, in the lines. (Verse 2) I trace the way you laugh, the way you softly speak, But every word I hear just makes my heart grow weak. You’re standing in the light, I’m fading in the gray, And no matter how I try, I can’t find the words to say. (Pre-Chorus) You’re the star I can’t reach out to, the song I’ll never sing, You’re the hope that keeps on slipping, like the dawn that fades to spring. (Chorus) Almost yours, but never mine, Caught between the moments and the signs. I’m a whisper in your shadow, a tear that never falls, In this dance of love, I’m just a step behind the walls. Almost yours, but never mine, Lost in the spaces, in the lines. (Bridge) I’m holding on to echoes, to memories of what could be, But every time I close my eyes, it’s only you I see. If only I could reach you, if only you could know, That every breath I take is a breath I let you go. (Chorus) Almost yours, but never mine, Caught between the reasons and the rhymes. I’m a whisper in your shadow, a tear that never falls, In this dance of love, I’m just a step behind the walls. Almost yours, but never mine, Lost in the spaces, in the lines. (Outro) Almost yours, but forever out of time… In this heart of mine, you’ll always shine.
