I got the meal, you spilt your wine
The restaurant's closing, lost track of time
Back at your house now, you say: It's a mess
But, it's just a stopgap, I take off your dress

We got close, started to feel
Only to leave soon as it's real

We've got so much in common, including the issues
I'll pull away 'cause I know that I'll miss you
That's when it hits me, so suddenly
You are almost the best thing that happened to me
I could pull the car over, got nowhere to be
You could say how you feel, but, you chose something mean
That's when it hits me, so suddenly
You are almost the best thing that happened to me

I'm in New York, we've had some space
You're in your ballgown fresh out the rain
You come up to 305 'cause you hate the noise
And your friends are all stood outside talking to boys
And I haven't moved on and you don't get out much
You're still holding me back, it's still me that you trust

We've got so much in common, including the issues
I'll pull away 'cause I know that I'll miss you
That's when it hits me, so suddenly
You are almost the best thing that happened to me
I could pull the car over, got nowhere to be
You could say how you feel, but, you chose something mean
That's when it hits me, so suddenly
You are almost the best thing that happened to me

(Ah-ah)
You can say how you feel (ah-ah)
But, you chose something mean (ah-ah)
(Ah-ah)

You come up to 305 'cause you hate the noise
It eats into my lonely nights, hearing your voice
I wonder if we really try, you'd never be
Almost the best thing that happened to me
