Stopped winding, the clock
Or watching the watch
We could have been contenders now
But for those almost's and not's
Down a waterfall of nearly's, were carried to the coast
Almost, almost

Ghosting round town since they put us down
When things went too far we went underground
Till later my nerves, took me down
My regrets tattooed, turn off the news
How far do you think it is to fall?
Maybe I'll send you a rose
Almost, almost
Almost, almost

15 seconds of fame
That's what you've got
Till all those ticking clocks
Get stuck and froze
Almost, almost
Almost, almost
