The Boy I Almost Was Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He wakes up at 6:03 to a coffee and a kiss
I wake up at 1:30 to the eighteen calls I missed
He drives to work, I drive myself crazy
What if so wise in a town full of maybes
He gets home at 5:05 and I’m still getting ready
Oh my God
Everything, everywhere all at once
I hope he’s having fun over there because
[Chorus]
One left town and the other one settled down
Round and round and I can’t figure out
Who’s happier?
Who’s happier?
One got things and the othеr got a ring
Different dreams and I can’t hеlp but think
Who’s happier?
Who’s happier?
Me or the boy I almost was
[Verse 2]
He goes out to walk the dogs in his warmest winter coat
And I go walk the boulevard
‘Cause there’s always summer on the west coast
Sun on my face and gold in my chain
If he saw me now he’d say that I changed
And that’s okay people do
One of us is better off but I don’t know who
[Chorus]
One left town and the other one settled down
Round and round and I can’t figure out
Who’s happier?
Who’s happier?
One got things and the other got a ring
Different dreams and I can’t help but think
Who’s happier?
Who’s happier?
Me or the boy I almost was
[Bridge]
Who’s got the half that’s whole?
Who’s got the life they want?
Who’s found the one to hold?
Who’s really got it all?
[Chorus]
One left town and the other one settled down
Round and round and I can’t figure out
Who’s happier?
Who’s happier?
One got things and the other got a ring
Different dreams and I can’t help but think
Who’s happier?
Who’s happier?
Me or the boy I almost was
