Noah JM - Almost Honest

[Verse 1] You know the face I make when I’m about to lie You let the silence sit, you never ask me why We split the last cold coffee, standing by the sink I had a dozen honest things and swallowed every one, I think [Pre-Chorus] It’s easy with a stranger, easy with the door Harder when you know what I’m reaching for [Chorus] I can tell you ’bout the weather, tell you ’bout my day Tell you every little thing except the thing I mean to say You’re close enough to notice when I turn away I get almost honest, then I change the phrase [Verse 2] Your coat is on my chair like it belongs right there You ask me if I’m all right; I fix a crooked strand of hair I make a joke, you smile, and give me room to choose I’m standing in the middle of a truth I’m scared to use [Pre-Chorus] It’s easy with a stranger, easy with the door Harder when you know what I’m reaching for [Chorus] I can tell you ’bout the weather, tell you ’bout my day Tell you every little thing except the thing I mean to say You’re close enough to notice when I turn away I get almost honest, then I change the phrase [Bridge] Maybe I’m afraid the words will rearrange us Maybe they already have, and neither one will name it If I let the sentence land, would you let it stay? I’m tired of finding softer ways to look away [Final Chorus] I can tell you ’bout the weather, tell you ’bout my day Tell you every little thing except the thing I mean to say You’re close enough to notice, close enough to stay I get almost honest—won’t you meet me halfway? [Outro] The coffee’s gone cold, but you’re still right there I take one breath, and leave the sentence bare
