second door, never opened {Verse 1} We stood where the streetlight flickered low, Your words hung soft like falling snow You almost said my name that way But swallowed it like it might stay I traced the cracks inside my shoe Pretended I wasn’t looking at you Like silence couldn’t break my bones Like I was better off alone {Pre-Chorus} And I could’ve reached out, I could’ve stayed But I let the moment slip away {Chorus} It was a last chance standing in the rain A second door I didn’t open again You turned your head, I turned to stone Now I replay it when I’m alone We were one step from something real But I never said what I couldn’t feel And now it lives in what I won’t undo That almost-me and almost-you {Verse 2} Now your name is just a passing car A distant light I watch from far I tell myself it wasn’t meant But I still wonder what you meant If I’d said “stay,” would you have stayed? Or was I just too scared to change? So I made a ghost out of a chance And called it fate, and called it chance {Pre-Chorus} But every night it finds its way Back to the words I didn’t say {Chorus} It was a last chance standing in the rain A second door I didn’t open again You turned your head, I turned to stone Now I replay it when I’m alone We were one step from something real But I never said what I couldn’t feel And now it lives in what I won’t undo That almost-me and almost-you {Bridge} Maybe in some other timeline I didn’t let the moment die Maybe I reached across that line And you were mine, and you were mine But here I am, and here you went A perfect moment, never sent Like a letter I never wrote Still stuck inside my throat {Final Chorus} It was a last chance I let slip away A quiet “no” I didn’t mean to say You disappeared into the turning crowd And I remember it too loud We were almost something real But I never said what I couldn’t feel And now it lives in what I won’t undo That almost-me and almost-you {Outro} Second chances don’t come twice They just haunt you in disguise Like a song you never knew But somehow still remembers you
