lyrics

(nearly, nearly)

The engine ticking cooling on a gravel lot
You had a thing to say and said another
I did the same and we both drove home
And that was 2019 and I still bother

Nearly, nearly (nearly)
We nearly said it, nearly
Six years of nearly, nearly
Nearly

Nearly nearly nearly nearly
Everything we meant is in a parking lot
Nearly nearly nearly nearly
It's a pharmacy now and we are not

You married someone kind, I met him, he is kind
I did not have one single ungenerous thought
Which frightened me far more than jealousy would
Because it means I've filed it, and it's not

I could call. I have the number. Eleven years.
I'm not going to. And that's not sad —
some things are better as the thing you nearly did.

Nearly nearly nearly nearly
Everything we meant is in a parking lot
Nearly nearly nearly nearly
It's a pharmacy now and we are not

(nearly...)
