Album: These Systems Are Failing (2016)

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. [x2]

It's over, everyone
I can't call the rising sun

Oh and I was almost loved. [x4]
Oh and we were almost loved. [x2]

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. [x2]

It's over, everyone
I can't call the setting sun

Oh and I was almost loved. [x4]
Oh and we were almost loved. [x2]

It's over, everyone
I can't call the setting sun

Oh and I was almost loved
Oh and we were almost loved
