Almost Never Wholly

Verse 1

Count the minutes on the plaster

Bare bulb swinging slow

I stacked my whole tomorrow

In a room I'll never know

Every door is painted over

Every hinge is rusted shut

Something almost like a promise

Lives beneath my ribs and cuts

Pre-Chorus

I keep reaching

I keep reeling

Same damn ceiling

Chorus

Everything is almost

Nothing is complete

Everything is almost

Nothing is complete

I am standing in the doorway

Where the two of them repeat

Everything is almost

Nothing is complete

Verse 2

Peel the paint back off the window

Watch the gray absorb the day

I rehearsed a hundred endings

None of them would stay

Half a sentence half a prayer

Half a life I never chose

Almost warm almost certain

Almost everything I know

Pre-Chorus

Still I'm reaching

Still I'm reeling

Same damn ceiling

Chorus

Everything is almost

Nothing is complete

Everything is almost

Nothing is complete

I am standing in the doorway

Where the two of them repeat

Everything is almost

Nothing is complete

Bridge

Take the whole

Take the hollow

Take the waiting

Let it follow

I was built

For almost only

Built for almost

Never wholly

Breakdown

Almost

Almost

Almost

Complete

Chorus

Everything is almost

Nothing is complete

Everything is almost

Nothing is complete

I am standing in the doorway

Where the two of them repeat

Everything is almost

Nothing is complete
