Always Almost
Navigating Love's Uncertainty: Always Almost by Josh Hendrickson
Lyrics
Do you see me? I tried my best, but baby
Expressing a desire for recognition or attention, questioning if the speaker is noticed.
Oh you're crazy, and maybe a little bit of crazy could sound good to me
Acknowledging the partner's eccentricity, open to the idea of embracing some craziness in the relationship.
So what's up? How nice of you to show up
Welcoming the partner's presence, possibly with a hint of sarcasm regarding the timing.
I love the constant guess of where I fall in all of this
Reflecting on the uncertainty of the relationship and the ambiguity of the speaker's role in it.
'Cause with you it's always almost. Think we're so close
Describing the recurring pattern of the relationship, where success or commitment always seems close but never fully realized.
But can I ask you, "Are we there yet?"
Posing a question about the progress of the relationship, expressing impatience or uncertainty.
It's always almost. So am I supposed to
Reiterating the theme of almost reaching a significant point in the relationship.
Let this go or just go with it?
Questioning whether to let go of expectations or to go along with the ambiguous nature of the relationship.
Is it a bad time? Well, how so?
Asking about the partner's emotional state and if it's a suitable time for a serious conversation.
Or is it fine? Can you decide? 'Cause I wanna know
Seeking clarity on the partner's feelings and intentions.
If I'm just killing minutes or you're in this for more
Questioning the depth of the partner's commitment, wondering if the time spent together is meaningful.
Do I feel like a chore to you?
Expressing concern that the speaker might be perceived as a burden or obligation in the relationship.
'Cause with you it's always almost. Think we're so close
Repeating the theme of the relationship being on the verge of progress but never quite reaching it.
But can I ask you, "Are we there yet?"
Reiterating the question about the status of the relationship and if a significant point has been reached.
It's always almost. So am I supposed to
Emphasizing the ongoing theme of almost, questioning whether to accept the situation or challenge it.
Let this go or just go with it?
Presenting the dilemma of whether to let go of expectations or continue navigating the uncertain path.
Can we stop and take a minute here?
Suggesting a pause for reflection and honesty in the relationship.
Would you be kind enough to tell the truth, my dear?
Requesting the partner to truthfully communicate about the situation.
I know you know what's going on and you're just letting it go on and on and on and on
Expressing frustration with the partner's awareness of the situation but reluctance to address it.
'Cause with you it's always almost. Think we're so close
Repeating the theme of the relationship being almost there but never fully reaching a conclusive point.
But can I ask you, "Are we there yet?"

It's always almost. So am I supposed to
