[Bradley Simpson & 홍중 (에이티즈) "Almost" 가사]
[Verse 1: Bradley Simpson]
I got the meal, you spilt your wine
The restaurant's closing, lost track of time
Back at your house now, you say, "It's a mess"
But, it's just a stopgap, I take off your dress
[Pre-Chorus: Bradley Simpson]
We got close, started to feel
Only to leave soon as it's real
[Chorus: Bradley Simpson]
We've got so much in common, including the issues
I'll pull away 'cause I know that I'll miss you
That's when it hits me, so suddenly
You were almost the best thing that happened to me
I could pull the car over, got nowhere to be
You could say how you feel, but, you chose something mean
That's when it hits me, so suddenly
You were almost the best thing that happened to me
[Verse 2: Hongjoong]
I'm in New York, yeah (Hoo-hoo-hoo)
I just repeat this song, yeah (Hoo-hoo-hoo)
넌 좋아하던 demo 네 가사들 모두
시차도 없이 날 울리고 있어, yeah (Hey)
너를 사랑하는 게 너무 쉬운 일이었는데
혹시 밤에 취한 채
Over 하는 걸까 겁낸 겁쟁이
독방에 홀로 갇힌 죄인
너도 같은 형량이길
We wrote a classic, now it reads cliché
[Chorus: Bradley Simpson, Hongjoong, Bradley Simpson & Hongjoong]
We've got so much in common, including the issues (Where you are)
I'll pull away 'cause I know that I'll miss you (Miss you, ah)
That's when it hits me, so suddenly
You were almost the best thing that happened to me
I could pull the car over, got nowhere to be (Oh)
You could say how you feel, but, you chose something mean (You could be my last [?])
That's when it hits me, so suddenly
You were almost the best thing that happened to me
[Post-Chorus: Hongjoong, Bradley Simpson]
Yeah
[?] (Ah-ah)
You can say how you feel (Ah-ah; I don't really get it)
But, you chose something mean (Ah-ah)
Yeah, yeah (Ah-ah)
[Outro: Hongjoong, Bradley Simpson, Bradley Simpson & Hongjoong]
You come up to 305 'cause you hate the noise
It eats into my lonely nights, hearing your voice
I wonder if we really tried, you'd never be
Almost the best thing that happened to me

Bradley Simpson:
It was a very organic process. Hongjoong posted ‘Almost’ on his stories and we started to chat and he sent over a verse literally two weeks later. It’s been really interesting working with an artist who comes from a different style of music to me and hearing a song that’s on the al...
