'Almost' by "Bowling For Soup"

I almost got drunk at school at 14
Where I almost made out with the homecoming queen
Who almost went on to be miss texas
But lost to a slut with much bigger breastes
I almost dropped out to move to LA
Where I was almost famous for almost a day

And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
Almost loved you
I almost wished u would've loved me too

I almost held up a grocery store
Where I almost did 5 years and then 7 more
Cuz I almost got popped for a fight with a thug
Cuz he almost made off with a bunch of the drugs
That I almost got hooked on cuz you ran away
And I wish I woulda had the nerve to ask you to stay

And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
Almost had you
And I didn't even know it
You kept me guessing and now
I'm destined to spend my time missing you
I almost wish you would've loved me too

Here I go thinking about all the things I could've done
I'm gonna need a forklift cuz all the baggage weighs a ton
I know we had our problems
I can't remember one
I almost forgot to say something else
And if I cant fit it in I'll keep it all to myself
I almost wrote a song about you today
But I tore it all up and then I threw it away

And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
Almost had you
And I didn't even know it
You kept me guessing and now
I'm destined to spend my time missing you

And I almost had you
I almost wish you would've loved me too

I think we all spend too much time looking back at almosts instead of ahead to what-ifs. I know a little girl who is battling a life-threatening disease. She is 12 and she is writing a book about what she's learned through all her struggles. The title of the book is "Tomorrow Will Be a Better Day." If she can have the courage to look at her pain and find hope, I know I should do no less.

When I was 20, I almost died, I almost ended my life because I felt things could never get better. But today they are immeasurably better and all the soothsayers who gave me no brighter future were proven wrong. Fact is, while we live there is hope. Not to sound too Pollyanna, but maybe if we all look for the good things, those are the things we will find. And with them, courage and hope.
