Almost Life Lyrics

Kindle tender at the bottom of a fire pit

You swallow me whole, chase your fingertips across my skin

Grinding your hips into mine

Swimming in a red light that won't turn off

That's all ancient history now, memories shouldn't mean anything

Well maybe that's the truth for you, that doesn't mean it's true for me

I'm still on the come down

It's kind of late

I'm sure you weren't thinking of me anyway

Let alone expecting to hear my voice on the phone tonight

But I'm calling to say that every good and beautiful thing that's sublime and sumptuous in meaningful ways

Reminds me of the almost life

The plans we made in the almost life

The dreams we had in the almost life

The birthday trip to Mexico

We looked at it but we didn't go

The almost life

The almost life

We were almost right

Every vampire wants to walk in the sun

Every man is just like me, he just wants to be loved

And everyday that I'm away from you

Every day that the artist is away from his muse

Is harder than the day before

Mon cherie, cou cou, mon Sacre Coeur

It's kind of late

I'm sure you weren't thinking of me anyway

Let alone expecting to hear my voice on the phone tonight

But I'm calling to say that every good and beautiful thing that's sublime and sumptuous in meaningful ways

Reminds me of the almost life

The plans we made in the almost life

The dreams we had in the almost life

The birthday trip to Mexico

We looked at it but we didn't go

The almost life

The almost life

We were almost right
