Almost Loved

I've seen the race I've seen it all

I've seen the writing on the wall

I've seen the love and all it breaks

And all the heartache I could take

The air inside is white and sweet

It covers up what it defeats

At the sea the demons wail

They crush your hands before you fail

Oh come on surprise me

Oh come on surprise me

It's over everyone

I can't call the rising sun

Oh and I was almost loved

Oh and I was almost loved

Oh and I was almost loved

Oh and I was almost loved

Oh and we were almost loved

Oh and we were almost loved

I've seen the fear behind the hate

The feral need that cannot wait

How every hope would fail and fall

With a diamond praise behind it all

The struggle leans and then it breaks

Look at the things we never make

The sun that sets beneath the tides

And why I'll love you 'til you die

Oh come on surprise me

Oh come on surprise me

It's over everyone

I can't call the setting sun

Oh and I was almost loved

Oh and I was almost loved

Oh and I was almost loved

Oh and I was almost loved

Oh and we were almost loved

Oh and we were almost loved

Outro

It's over everyone

I can't call the setting sun

Oh and I was almost loved

Oh and I was almost loved

Oh and I was almost loved

Oh and I was almost loved

Oh and we were almost loved

Oh and we were almost loved

Oh and we were almost loved

Oh and we were almost loved

Oh and we were almost loved

Oh and we were almost loved

Oh and we were almost loved

Oh and we were almost loved

Oh and we were almost loved

Oh and we were almost loved

Oh and we were almost loved

Oh and we were almost loved

Oh and we were almost loved
