Ah yeah, yeah, yeah
The moment when the light is red before the go
The moment when the curtain’s down before the show
The moment when you’re done, but maybe just one more
That’s how I feel before I get you all alone
We could give it a minute
But what’s the fun in a minute?
When we could push all the limits
Ah yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah
Shirt hanging off my shoulders
Both hands wanna hold you
So baby, what’s the holdup?
Yeah, yeah
Can you feel the tension rising?
Now you’re, now you’re getting it close
Now you’re, now you’re getting it close
Almost love, it’s almost love
Speed this up ’cause I’m excited
No more, no more taking it slow
No more, no more taking it slow
Almost love, it’s almost love
Almost love
Almost love, it’s almost love
Almost love
Almost love, it’s almost love
Almost love
I want you like a midnight hour wants a view
I want you like a loner wants an empty room
I want you like a kiss that’s long and overdue
I need you more than I have ever needed you
And we could give it a minute
But what’s the fun in a minute?
When we could push all the limits
Ah yeah yeah yeah yeah, yeah
Shirt hanging off my shoulders
Both hands wanna hold you
So baby, what’s the holdup?
Yeah
Can you feel the tension rising?
Now you’re, now you’re getting it close
Now you’re, now you’re getting it close
Almost love, it’s almost love
Speed this up ’cause I’m excited
No more, no more taking it slow
No more, no more taking it slow
Almost love, it’s almost love
Almost love
Almost love, it’s almost love
Almost love
Almost love, it’s almost love
Almost love
Almost love, but it could be love
Almost love
Almost love, but it could be love
Almost lo-lo-love
Almost love, but it could be love
It could be love, it could be, eh
The Thrill of Anticipation
“Almost Love (R3hab Remix)” by Sabrina Carpenter captures the electric sensation of a budding romance on the verge of becoming something deeper. The lyrics paint vivid imagery of moments suspended in anticipation—like a red light just before it turns green or the hush before a show’s start. Carpenter’s narrative is playful and honest, revealing the tension and excitement that arise when two people are close to crossing the line from flirtation to full-blown love. The repeated phrase “almost love” highlights the delicate balance between holding back and giving in, making the song relatable for anyone who’s felt the intensity of waiting for the next step in a relationship.
