Magnolia Electric Co. - Almost Was Good Enough

It's been hard doing anything
Winter's stuck around so long
I kept trying anyhow and I'm still trying now
Just to keep working, just to keep working

I remember when this didn't use to be so hard
This used to be impossible
A new season has got to begin
I can feel it leaning in whispering
"Nothing's lonely now"
Nothing anymore in pain

"Nothing's lonely now"
Nothing anymore in pain

A tall shadow dressed the way that secrets always dress
They want everyone to know that they're around
Comes leaning in, comes whispering
"My friend over there don't know what she's talking about"

Did you really believe, come on, did you really believe
That everyone makes it out?
Almost no one makes it out
Almost no one makes it out

Think I'll pack it in
Buy a pickup
Head it down to L.A
Maybe find a place
That we can fix up
Start a brand new day

The woman I'm thinking of
She loved me all up
And I'm so down today
She's so fine, she's in my mind
I can hear her calling
From my big brass bed

See the lonely boys
Out on the weekend
Trying to make it pay
See the lonely boys
Out on the weekend
Trying to make it pay
I'm going to use them streets to hide
From that human doubt
Hide from what was shining
And has finally burned me out
Once, almost was good enough
Almost was good enough
Almost was good enough

For once, almost was good enough
Almost was good enough
Almost was good enough
