Andrew Lippa, Gavin Creel - Almost There lyrics

I almost played for the Mets second base
I got as close as you can
I could feel I could hit
I could feel this was it til it wasn't
Taught me to grow up

I was almost there on the baseball field
In the open air with my future sealed
It was almost real like a dream you feel
When you wake up the moment it's playing
I was almost there but now no
One believes what I'm saying
That's wrong, my daughter believes
How it was and she's the first on the field
But my son can't enjoy
Playing ball, not my boy he's confusing
I still don't know him

Jimmy's almost there but hе's almost not
Like a name you knew and thеn soon forgot
Jimmy's almost lost in a made up world
And I wish he would listen to reason
Jimmy's almost there but he's there when
The team is off season

So time goes by i try and try
And still I seem to never quite
Can't seem to ever get it right
I never seem to ever get it right

So now it's carpools and work day to day
I push my dreams to the side
Got my kids, got my wife, my agreeable life

And I'm almost there though I almost fail
I can breathe it in but I don't exhale
He's a boy who needs what I can't supply
So I do what I know how to do

Spending almost time being almost where
Doing almost not giving almost care
I've been almost there

But is that all that I've got?
