Lyrics
**[Verse 1]**
I knew the way your footsteps sounded
Before I ever knew your fears
We traded stories after sundown
And somehow lost entire years
You'd tell me things you told nobody
Or so I let myself believe
I learned the little things about you
And mistook them for a key
**[Pre-Chorus]**
There was never quite a promise
Never quite a reason to leave
Just enough to keep me wondering
What you might have been to me
**[Chorus]**
Four years, almost you
Almost something we could hold on to
All those little things we used to do
All the words I never followed through
We were close enough to dream
Too far to know what we could be
I don't regret the time we knew
I just wish I'd known
Four years, almost you
**[Verse 2]**
I saved the ordinary moments
Like they were something I could keep
A joke that stayed with me till morning
A conversation before sleep
And every time we grew a little closer
I thought the distance might give way
But closeness isn't always a beginning
Sometimes it's just where people stay
**[Pre-Chorus]**
You never asked me to keep waiting
You never said that I should go
Maybe that's the hardest part of all
We never had to name the road
**[Chorus]**
Four years, almost you
Almost something we could hold on to
All those little things we used to do
All the words I never followed through
We were close enough to dream
Too far to know what we could be
I don't regret the time we knew
I just wish I'd known
Four years, almost you
**[Bridge]**
Maybe I was reading futures
In the kindness of your eyes
Maybe there were moments you felt something
Maybe not, and that's all right
I can't turn the past against you
Or make the silence mean you lied
I can only stop imagining
A life we never tried
**[Final Chorus]**
Four years, almost you
A thousand things I thought we might do
I still smile at the things we knew
Even if they never led me to you
We were real, even if we weren't
The ending that I hoped we'd earn
I don't regret the time we knew
But I can't spend forever
Almost you
**[Outro — piano only]**
Somewhere, four years are just four years
Somewhere, your name is just a name
But if I could go back to the beginning
I'd still be glad
We met that way.
