Lyrics

Almost Something to Almost Nothing

Been waiting for this day
First time I got my pay
Finally found the means to make an end
Hard work came and went
Didn’t realize what I spent
Next month I’ll do it all again

I’ve held a lot of ladies
but I’ve never found my heart
When the cards are down
there’s no need for bluffing
The stakes are getting higher
The margin’s getting tighter
From almost nothing to almost something

Just a chance encounter
Mere minutes in the hour
Electric aches afraid to blink and end
Can't tear my thoughts away from the things we’d never say
Left me wondering what might have been

I’ve held a lot of ladies
but I’ve never found my heart
When the cards are down
there’s no need for bluffing
The stakes are getting higher
The margin’s getting tighter
From almost something to almost nothing

Life's been shuffled dealt and cut
I’ve always gone with my gut
But damn my luck I was never meant to win
Wish I learned from my past
But it never seems to last
Takes me back, to where I’ve been

I’ve held a lot of ladies
but I’ve never found my heart
When the cards are down
there’s no need for bluffing
The stakes are getting higher
The margin’s getting tighter
From almost nothing to almost something.
From almost nothing to almost...
