Songwriter: Carly Rae Jepsen

[Verse 1]
I always want more
I'm never gonna get it
You're gonna be the one I never got that got away
And I'll regret it
Just a moment in time
But I can't forget it
Yeah, we almost said it

[Pre-Chorus]
If this is love, I should be dying
But I'm going downtown, like I still care
Like I'm still trying
I said I was over you, but I'm lying
There, I almost said it

[Chorus]
Every time you look at me, I say it silently
Oh, when will you wake up and get it?
This close, we almost said it

[Verse 2]
I know you're not evil
So, why do you tease me?
Yeah, stayin' around here late at night
You don't make it easy
It's in my body language, read me
We were this close
This close, yeah
And it's like...

[Chorus]
Every time you look at me, I say it silently
Oh, wake up, baby, come and get it
This close, we almost said it

[Bridge]
You say that you're still not free
Well, I hear selectively
That still means someday you might be
Oh, this close, yeah, yeah

[Outro]
You wrote me a song
I often play it
Depending on where I am with you
I either love it or I hate it
We were just this close, but we couldn't say it
We were this close

Carly Rae Jepsen

Carly Rae Jepsen is a Canadian singer and songwriter. Born in 1985, she first came to fame by finishing in third place on the TV show Canadian Idol. Shortly afterwards, she released her debut album, Tug Of War, including the Canadian top 40 singles “Tug Of War” and “Bucket.”

Three years later, she released the single “Call Me Maybe” and planned to follow it with what would have been her second album, Curiosity. However, after the song caught the ear of fellow Canadian, Justin Bieber, he referred her to his manager, Scooter Braun, which led to her signing an international deal with Interscope Records. Before long, it became one of 2012’s most enduring hits, racking up over a billion YouTube views and topping the charts in 21 countries, including the US and Canada. The aforementioned Curiosity album was cut down to EP length, and work continued on her eventual sophomore LP, Kiss. Released in September 2012, it also featured the Owl City collaboration “Good Time”, which reached #8 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Jepsen returned in March 2015 with “I Really Like You,” the lead single from her third studio album. The song received a more muted reception than her breakout hit–although it did reach #2 in the United Kingdom–and consequently, the album, E•MO•TION, failed to make a substantial impact chartwise. Despite this, the album drew in a new wave of fans with its more experimental and mature sound; such was the amount of praise among both the public and critics that a follow-up EP of album outtakes–E•MO• Side B–was released on the album’s first anniversary.
