The Boy I Almost Was

He wakes up at three minutes past six to a coffee and a kiss
I wake up at half past one to the eighteen calls I missed
He drives to work, I drive myself crazy
What if so wise in a town full of maybes
He gets home at five minutes past five and I'm still getting ready
Oh my God
Everything, everywhere all at once
I hope he's having fun over there because

One left town and the other one settled down
Round and round and I can't figure out
Who's happier?
Who's happier?
One got things and the other got a ring
Different dreams and I can't help but think
Who's happier?
Who's happier?
Me or the boy I almost was

He goes out to walk the dogs in his warmest winter coat
And I go walk the boulevard
'Cause there's always summer on the west coast
Sun on my face and gold in my chain
If he saw me now he'd say that I changed
And that's okay people do
One of us is better off but I don't know who

One left town and the other one settled down
Round and round and I can't figure out
Who's happier?
Who's happier?
One got things and the other got a ring
Different dreams and I can't help but think
Who's happier?
Who's happier?
Me or the boy I almost was

Who's got the half that's whole?
Who's got the life they want?
Who's found the one to hold?
Who's really got it all?

One left town and the other one settled down
Round and round and I can't figure out
Who's happier?
Who's happier?
One got things and the other got a ring
Different dreams and I can't help but think
Who's happier?
Who's happier?
Me or the boy I almost was
