[Verse 1 – Female]  
You leaned in but didn’t speak  
Smiled and touched my hair so meek  
I laughed too loud, then looked away  
Couldn’t trust what eyes might say  
[Verse 1 – Male]  
You asked “Just friends?” with half a grin  
Like maybe more was tucked within  
We walked too close, but didn’t hold  
Both waiting for the night to unfold  
[Chorus – Both]  
We almost said it, almost knew  
The air was thick with something true  
Each pause a beat, each glance a clue  
This isn’t nothing — me and you  
[Verse 2 – Female]  
You joked about a future dream  
I played along, not too extreme  
But in my heart, the bells rang loud  
Though we stayed hidden in the crowd  
[Verse 2 – Male]  
Your perfume stayed when you were gone  
I read your texts until the dawn  
If this is just a passing spark  
Why does it glow inside the dark  
[Chorus Repeat – Both]  
We almost said it, almost knew  
The air was thick with something true  
Each pause a beat, each glance a clue  
This isn’t nothing — me and you  
[Bridge – Both, interwoven]  
One word could break the ice  
One step beyond advice  
But maybe “almost” keeps us near  
Too close to lose, too far to clear  
[Final Chorus – Both, harmonized]  
We almost said it, now we know  
The truth was quiet, soft and slow  
If someday “almost” turns to do  
I’ll still be standing here — with you
