Verse 1]
I take the midnight inventory
when all the corridors are still,
label the lives that nearly happened,
file every unopened door.
A ticket sleeps beneath the glass case,
a train left waiting in the rain,
a sentence folded into silence
before it ever had a name.
[Pre-Chorus]
Nothing here is dead or broken.
Nothing here was ever born.
I only keep the shapes of futures
from the moment they were gone.
[Chorus]
Welcome to the Museum of Almost,
where the clocks don’t mourn the time.
Every room holds one direction
that was possible for a while.
No ghosts asking to be rescued,
no mistakes I have to solve.
Just the quiet architecture
of the things that never were.
[Verse 2]
There’s a coat still on a hanger
from a city never seen,
two untouched cups upon a table,
someone’s hand where yours might’ve been.
I dust the names they might have given
to the children never known,
then close the case without deciding
which life should have been your own.
[Pre-Chorus]
Nothing here is dead or broken.
Nothing here was ever born.
I only keep the shapes of futures
from the moment they were gone.
[Chorus]
Welcome to the Museum of Almost,
where the clocks don’t mourn the time.
Every room holds one direction
that was possible for a while.
No ghosts asking to be rescued,
no mistakes I have to solve.
Just the quiet architecture
of the things that never were.
[Bridge]
Tonight I found an empty cabinet
with my handwriting on the card.
No photograph, no destination,
only: This one came this far.
I stood there longer than I should have,
then turned the little label round.
For once I left an almost nameless.
For once I didn’t write it down.
[Final Chorus]
This is the Museum of Almost.
I don’t know what belongs to mine.
Some doors close without a tragedy.
Some roads simply lose their signs.
Let the glass keep all its questions.
Let tomorrow stay unresolved.
I turn the key and leave behind me
all the things that never were.
[Outro]
Outside, morning fills the pavement.
Someone opens up a door.
I don’t turn to see behind me.
I have somewhere else to go.
