[Verse 1]
I've seen the race, I've seen it all
I've seen the writing on the wall
I've seen the love and all it breaks
And all the heartache I could take

The air inside is white and sweet
It covers up what it defeats
I had to see the demon's wail
They crush your hands before you fail

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh! (Oh!) Come on (Come on)
Surprise me
Oh! (Oh!) Come on (Come on)
Surprise me
Oh, it's over, everyone
I can't call the rising sun

[Chorus]
Oh, and I was almost loved
Oh, and I was almost loved
Oh, and I was almost loved
Oh, and I was almost loved
Oh, and we were almost loved
Oh, and we were almost loved

[Verse 2]
I've seen the fear behind the hate
The feral need that cannot wait
How every hope would fail and fall
With a diamond praise behind it all

The struggle leans and then it breaks
Look at the things we never make
The sun that sets beneath the tides
And why I'll love you 'til you die

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh! (Oh!) Come on (Come on)
Surprise me
Oh! (Oh!) Come on (Come on)
Surprise me
Oh, it's over, everyone
I can't call the rising sun

[Chorus]
Oh, and I was almost loved
Oh, and I was almost loved
Oh, and I was almost loved
Oh, and I was almost loved
Oh, and we were almost loved
Oh, and we were almost loved

[Bridge]
(Los Angeles, Los Angeles)
(Los Angeles, Los Angeles)
(Los Angeles, Los Angeles)
(Los Angeles, Los Angeles)
(Los Angeles, Los Angeles)
(Los Angeles, Los Angeles)
(Los Angeles, Los Angeles)
(Los Angeles, Los Angeles)

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Oh, it's over, everyone
I can't call the setting sun

[Chorus 2]
Oh, and I was almost loved
Oh, and I was almost loved
Oh, and I was almost loved
Oh, and I was almost loved

Oh, and we were almost loved
Oh, and we were almost loved
Oh, and we were almost loved
Oh, and we were almost loved
Oh, and we were almost loved
Oh, and we were almost loved

[Outro]
Oh, and we were almost loved
Oh, and we were almost loved
Oh, and we were almost loved
Oh, and we were almost loved
Oh, and we were almost loved
Oh, and we were almost loved
Oh, and we were almost loved

Moby & The Void Pacific Choir

In 2016, Moby formed a new group called Moby & The Void Pacific Choir. Their debut album is entitled These Systems Are Failing, which describes how a lot of these systems such as education and law are failing and we need to do something. Their song “Are You Lost In A World Like Me” became popular on social media and the music video showed how society has been focusing on technology and their phones too much.
