[00:00.000] 作曲 : Andrew Lippa[00:07.661]I almost played for the METS, second base,[00:11.378]I got as close as you can.[00:14.554]I could field, I could hit,[00:16.418]I could feel this was it, till it wasn’t[00:21.751]Taught me to grow up[00:25.990]I was almost there on a baseball field[00:29.972]In the open air, with my future sealed[00:33.706]It was almost real[00:35.564]Like a dream you feel[00:37.420]When you wake up the moment it’s playing[00:41.137]I was almost there[00:43.020]But now no one believes what I’m saying[00:49.657]That’s wrong, my daughter believes how it was[00:53.384]And she’s the first on the field[00:56.565]But my son can’t enjoy[00:58.430]playing ball, not my boy[01:00.280]He’s confusing[01:03.477]I still don’t know him![01:08.003]Jimmy’s almost there, but he’s almost not[01:11.727]Like the name you know, and then soon forgot[01:15.448]Jimmy’s almost lost in a made-up world[01:19.162]And I wish he would listen to reason[01:23.138]Jimmy’s almost there,[01:25.004]But he’s there when the team is off-season[01:30.888]So time goes by[01:34.601]I try and try[01:38.576]And still I almost never quite[01:40.459]Can’t seem to ever get it right[01:42.599]I never seem to ever get it right![01:50.575]So now it’s carpools and work, day to day[01:54.282]I push my dreams to the side[01:57.466]Got my kids, got my wife[01:59.548]My agreeable life![02:04.074]And I’m almost there[02:05.935]Though I almost fail[02:07.801]I can breathe it in, but I don’t exhale[02:11.775]He’s a boy who needs what I can’t supply[02:15.493]So I do what I know how to do[02:19.474]Spending almost time, being almost where[02:23.223]Doing almost not, giving almost care[02:26.946]I’ve been almost there[02:33.058]But is that all that I’ve got?
