Almost Honest
By Josh Kelley
So in the meantime
You'll be resting on my mind
For the last time
I will leave myself behind
In the evening
Raise a glass and tell some lies
Make a pass, impress another girl,
She was easy on the eyes
She was easy
And so was I
My reflection
In the window when I ride for Chicago
She is on the other side
Take a picture
Write a letter to my love
Well I was almost honest
I was almost honest
Been a long time
Since I've laid with you in bed
Conversations, full of words you never said
I got your message
But I didn't hear the ringing bell
I gave into the loneliness
But I didn't give them nothing else
Which direction
Down this highway that I ride to Atlanta
She is on the other side
Take a picture
Write a letter to my love
I was almost honest
Well, I was almost honest
Yeah, Oh oh oh Hmmmmm
My reflection
In the window when I ride
Could not save us
But I swear to God I tried
Take a picture
Write a letter to my love
I was almost honest
But I was almost honest
Cause I was almost honest
Most people tell me this song is about cheating. I don't know, but something tells me this song is not so much about cheating but lying to oneself. I believe this is about a person who cannot let go of his attachments, so much so that he goes on this journey in an attempt to forget. What makes the sentiment of the song so laudible is the fact that it upholds a singular, simplistic truth--things fall apart, people are required to move on, but sometimes that just isn't possible.
