Almost There

Lyrics

I almost played for the Mets Second base I got as close as you can I could field, 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 therе but he's almost not Like a name you knеw and then 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?
