[Intro (5 sec instrumental fade-in)]
[Soft electric guitar strums, a touch of reverb]
[Female Voice, whispery]

Met you where the lights don’t flicker
And my phone was 5%—that’s fate, or just poor planning

[Verse 1]
[Male Voice]

You said, “You look like someone who writes poetry in parking lots.”
I said, “You look like a bad decision I’d make twice.”

[Female Voice, laughing]

We ordered fries, didn’t touch ‘em, just talked
And for a second, I thought — “oh no, not again.”

[ Chorus (Repetitive, Catchy, Call & Response)]
Both

I almost fell in love—
(But I didn’t!)
Almost sent that text—
(But I didn’t!)
Almost let you stay—
(Glad I didn’t?)
But it was kinda fun
Just being almost in love

[Verse 2]
[Female Voice]

You said, “I’m a little broken but mostly funny.”
I said, “Cool, I collect red flags like it's a hobby.”

[Male Voice]

You wore your hoodie like armor,
I wore my playlist like a shield

[Both softly, slightly overlapping]

Still—
It felt... almost real

[Chorus (Repetition + Emotional Layer)]
I almost fell in love—
(But I didn’t!)
Almost cried that night—
(But I didn’t!)
Almost played your song—
(But I skipped it)
Still can’t lie—it felt
Kinda close to love

[ Bridge (Soft & Reflective)]
[Male Voice]

Some stories don’t need a heartbreak
Just a “what if” and a perfect goodbye

[Female Voice]

And maybe we weren’t forever
But hey—at least we tried

[ Final Chorus (Emotional Climax + Refrain Hook)]
Both, layered harmonies

I almost fell in love—
(Almost made you mine)
Almost danced in the rain—
(Almost crossed that line)
But almost was enough
For a night that felt just right

We were—
Almost love, in full color light
And I’ll replay it
(Even if we never write)

[ Outro (3 sec instrumental fade-out)]
[Distant synth echoes, soft heartbeat drum fade]

Almost fell in love...
(But I didn’t)
