[Verse 1]

You were the right face at the wrong time, love

I only wish I woulda known it

Wouldn't have been so quick to give you up

When you got a good thing you should hold it

[Chorus]

We were almost legends, you and me

We were almost perfect

We were almost like the people in the paintings

It's like we were almost

It's like we were almost famous, famous, famous

It's like we were almost famous, famous, famous

[Verse 2]

Much as I want to, I can't lie now, babe

I can't deny how much I miss you

We were just victims of the time and place

A lack of love was not the issue

I changed my mind

I turned to tell you, you were already gone

[Chorus]

Oh, we were almost legends, you and me

We were almost perfect

We were almost like the people in the paintings

It's like we were almost

It's like we were almost famous, famous, famous

It's like we were almost famous, famous, famous

[Bridge]

It's funny how

We say "Forever"

I see you now

You're just a stranger

We wave hello

Say "See you later"

I'll see you later

It's funny how

[Chorus]

We were almost legends, you and me

We were almost perfect, yeah

We were almost like the people in the paintings

It's like we were almost

It's like we were almost famous, famous, famous

It's like we were almost famous, famous, famous

It's like we were almost famous, famous, famous

It's like we were almost famous, famous, famous

[Outro]

You were the right face at the wrong time, love

I only wish I woulda known it
