(Oya, listen now)
Yeah, yeah
Just me and you in this space
But somehow we still dey space
We share the secret language of a look
Like pages written in a hidden book
I see the way you smile when I walk in
But then the silence starts to creep back in
We’re dancing round the truth of how we feel
Is this just fantasy or is it real?
Every time I try to bridge the line
You pull away and leave me with a sign
We are the almost, the what-could-be
Lost in the middle of you and me
So close to heaven, yet we never touch
Maybe I’m wanting a little too much
We’re the beautiful shadow, the story untold
Two hearts burning but never grow bold
Oh, we’re the almost, the almost today
Watching the moment just drifting away
I remember the night under the stars
We talked about life and our little scars
Your hand brushed mine, a spark in the air
But words stayed locked, kept under care
It’s like we’re playing a game we can’t win
Where do we end and where do we begin?
I don’t want to rush, I don’t want to force
But my heart is struggling to stay on course
We are the almost, the what-could-be
Lost in the middle of you and me
So close to heaven, yet we never touch
Maybe I’m wanting a little too much
We’re the beautiful shadow, the story untold
Two hearts burning but never grow bold
Oh, we’re the almost, the almost today
Watching the moment just drifting away
Is it fear? Is it fate? Is it wrong timing?
Are we just mountains that never go climbing?
I know you feel it, I know that you know
But we’re stuck in the rhythm, too scared to let go
We are the almost, the what-could-be
Lost in the middle of you and me
So close to heaven, yet we never touch
Maybe I’m wanting a little too much
We’re the beautiful shadow, the story untold
Two hearts burning but never grow bold
Oh, we’re the almost, the almost today
Watching the moment just drifting away
Yeah, the almost, the almost
Just you and me, yeah
Maybe tomorrow, maybe not
Keep the vibe soft, no wahala
Just let it be.
(Ehen, peace)
