Almost, Almost There

[Verse 1]
You read the board as names blur past
A yellow ticket soft with age
The doors fold shut, the windows flash
Your one good coat against the rain

[Pre-Chorus]
You count the towns you meant to see
Each departure takes a little piece

[Chorus]
Almost, almost, there you go
Every train says what you know
Almost, almost, doors slide wide
You stay right here while worlds roll by
Almost, almost, call your name
You miss the one, then miss again

[Verse 2]
The station clock keeps losing time
A paper cup goes cold in hand
You trace a route across the sign
And never leave the painted stand

[Pre-Chorus]
You count the towns you meant to see
Each departure takes a little piece

[Chorus]
Almost, almost, there you go
Every train says what you know
Almost, almost, doors slide wide
You stay right here while worlds roll by
Almost, almost, call your name
You miss the one, then miss again

[Bridge]
One whistle cuts the morning clean
One step would change the in-between
The doors are open—choose a side
Your whole life fits inside this ride

[Chorus]
Almost, almost, there you go
Every train says what you know
Almost, almost, doors slide wide
You stay right here while worlds roll by
Almost, almost, call your name
You miss the one, then miss again

[Outro]
Almost, almost—doors slide wide
You stay right here while worlds roll by
