"Almost Is Never Enough"

(with Nathan Sykes)

I'd like to say we gave it a try

I'd like to blame it all on life
Maybe we just weren't right, but that's a lie, that's a lie

And we can deny it as much as we want

But in time our feelings will show

'Cause sooner or later

We'll wonder why we gave up
The truth is everyone knows

Almost, almost is never enough

So close to being in love
If I would have known that you wanted me the way I wanted you
Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart
But right here in each other's arms

And we almost, we almost knew what love was

But almost is never enough

If I could change the world overnight

There'd be no such thing as goodbye
You'd be standing right where you were
And we'd get the chance we deserve

Try to deny it as much as you want

But in time our feelings will show

'Cause sooner or later

We'll wonder why we gave up
The truth is everyone knows

Almost, almost is never enough

So close to being in love
If I would have known that you wanted me the way I wanted you
Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart
But right here in each other's arms

And we almost, we almost knew what love was

But almost is never enough

Oh, oh baby, you know, you know, baby

 Almost, baby, is never enough, baby
You know

And we can deny it as much as we want

But in time our feelings will show

'Cause sooner or later

We'll wonder why we gave up
The truth is everyone knows

Almost, almost is never enough (is never enough, babe)

We were so close to being in love (so close)
If I would have known that you wanted me the way I wanted you (babe)
Then maybe we wouldn't be two worlds apart
But right here in each other's arms

And we almost, we almost knew what love was (baby)

But almost is never enough

Oh, oh baby, you know, you know, baby

Almost is never enough baby
You know

Closer Lyrics
[Verse 1: Andrew Taggart]
Hey, I was doing just fine before I met you
I drink too much and that's an issue but I'm OK
Hey, you tell your friends it was nice to meet them
But I hope I never see them again

[Pre-Chorus: Andrew Taggart]

I know it breaks your heart
Moved to the city in a broke down car
And four years, no calls
Now you're looking pretty in a hotel bar
And I can't stop
No, I can't stop

[Chorus: Andrew Taggart]

So baby pull me closer in the backseat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of the mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain't ever getting older

[Post-Chorus: Andrew Taggart]

We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older

[Verse 2: Halsey]
You look as good as the day I met you
I forget just why I left you, I was insane
Stay and play that Blink-182 song
That we beat to death in Tucson, OK

[Pre-Chorus: Halsey]
I know it breaks your heart
Moved to the city in a broke down car
And four years, no call
Now I'm looking pretty in a hotel bar
And I can't stop
No, I can't stop

[Chorus: Andrew Taggart & Halsey]

So baby pull me closer in the backseat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of the mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain't ever getting older

[Post-Chorus: Andrew Taggart & Halsey]

We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older

[Chorus: Andrew Taggart & Halsey]

So baby pull me closer in the backseat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of the mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older (we ain't ever getting older)
We ain't ever getting older (we ain't ever getting older)
We ain't ever getting older (we ain't ever getting older)
We ain't ever getting older

We ain't ever getting older

No we ain't ever getting older
