Almost In Love
Navigating the Edge of Love in the East Village
Lyrics
I said I wanted an apartment in the East Village
I expressed a desire for a residence in the East Village.
You said you've been there before
You mentioned having previous experience in the East Village.
I ordered a cold vanilla latte
I ordered a cold vanilla latte.
You said you'll have the same thing but warm
You decided to have the same but served warm.
But what if I end up falling in love
Expressing concern about the possibility of falling in love.
What if you end up holding my heart in your hands
Contemplating the idea of entrusting one's heart to the other.
What if I end up falling three floors down
Fearing the potential consequences of falling deeply.
So I won't let myself fall almost in love
Deciding not to allow oneself to fall almost in love.
I've done that too many times before
Referring to past experiences of nearly falling in love.
I won't let myself fall almost in love
Reiterating the decision not to almost fall in love.
Before I let myself walk out that door
Committing not to leave before allowing oneself to fall in love.
Almost in love
Repeating the theme of almost being in love.
I've always been the type to tell you just how I'm feeling
Describing the inclination to express emotions openly.
But right now I'm too shy to say
Currently feeling too reserved to articulate feelings.
I put my hand against yours, knowing you'd get the hint
Using physical touch to subtly convey romantic interest.
And start to pull me your way
Expecting the other person to respond positively.
But what if I end up falling in love
Revisiting the fear of falling in love.
What if you end up holding my heart in your hands
Reiterating the potential vulnerability of having one's heart held.
What if I end up falling three floors down
Concerns about the consequences of a deep emotional connection.
So I won't let myself fall almost in love
Committing to avoid almost falling in love.
I've done that too many times before
Reflecting on past instances of nearly falling in love.
I won't let myself fall almost in love
Restating the determination not to almost fall in love.
Before I let myself walk out that door
Promising not to leave before exploring the potential for love.
I think it's alright to be a little scared
Suggesting that it's acceptable to feel a bit scared in love.
Don't have to be so sure
Encouraging not to be overly certain or sure in relationships.
And every story of a love I read
Expressing a desire for love inspired by romantic stories.
It makes me want ours more
Expressing a heightened desire for the unique love between the two.
I won't let myself fall almost in love
Repeating the decision not to almost fall in love.
I've done that too many times before
Recalling past experiences of nearly falling in love.
I won't let myself fall almost in love
Reiterating the commitment not to almost fall in love.
Before I let myself walk out that door
Promising not to leave before exploring the potential for love.
I won't let myself fall almost in love
Repeating the decision not to almost fall in love.
I've done that too many times before
Recalling past experiences of nearly falling in love.
I won't let myself fall almost in love
Reiterating the commitment not to almost fall in love.
Before I let myself walk out that door
Promising not to leave before exploring the potential for love.
Almost in love
Repeating the theme of almost being in love.
