Almost Everything - The Hold Steady

Something might happen but nothing will be never ending

Right from the start I told you I can’t spend the night

Forget all the feelings

Remember the sessions

How we made a connection

With the lambs from my dreams looking up at your hands

And your hands pointing up at the lights

Yeah, there are nights I get terrified

I’m sure you get terrified too

So hey won’t you show me a sign

If I’m getting through to you

I’m still pretty into you

The bus it rolled up into Franklin at dawn and everything seemed super slo-mo

The Waffle House waitress that asked us if we were Pink Floyd

Sat in the back of the theater just drinking and talking

About movies and Krishna and hardcore and Jesus and joy

Yeah there are nights I get terrified

I’m sure you get terrified too

So hey won’t you show me a sign

If I’m getting through to you

When the lights come up

I can’t see so much

I can hear you breathe

I can feel almost everything

We checked into Methodist

We met with some residents

They maxed out my medicine

And let me back loose again

Went to some movie.

It was loud dumb and bloody

The third act took place in a wormhole

The hero ascended to heaven

Then we headed home

Got blocked at the exits by medics with stretchers

Finally they said just forget it

The kid that went down isn’t dead

He just can’t find his phone

Yeah there are nights I get terrified

I’m sure you get terrified too

So hey won’t you show me a sign

If I’m getting through to you

I can hear you breathe

I can feel almost everything

Almost everything
