Heartbreak after heartbreak And it makes me want to call you out of nowhere 'Cause I still care But then no good ever came from asking Dangerous questions Like, what if I'd stayed? It almost makes me regret walking away But I know you'll always be Almost my hometown James Dean Almost eighteen and married Maybe then I'd only be half as lonely as I am right now Almost the girl of your dreams Almost too damn easy But in the end the most we'd ever be is Half in love and almost happy I know I'm the bad guy in your story But you're better for it really And it's ok if you hate me 'Cause I became the most Dangerous question Like, what if I'd stayed? Or what if we tried one more time Then would everything change? But I know you'll always be Almost my hometown James Dean Almost eighteen and married Maybe then I'd only be half as lonely as I am right now Almost the girl of your dreams Almost too damn easy But in the end the most we'd ever be is Half in love and almost happy Ghost of everything I could have had You're haunting all of my dreams Dreams dreams dreams You're popping up in corners of my mind I only feel when I sleep I'm digging ghosts up out of closets 'cause I want to try them on for the night And you know I only want you when it's midnight playing tricks on my mind But I know you'll always be Almost my hometown James Dean Almost eighteen and married Maybe then I'd only be half as lonely as I am right now Almost the girl of your dreams Almost too damn easy But in the end the most we'd ever be is Half in love and almost happy We were almost, almost happy Almost happy
