I almost got drunk at school at 14
Where I almost made out with the Homecoming Queen
Who almost went on to be Miss Texas
But lost to a slut with much bigger breastes
I almost dropped out to move to LA
Where I was almost famous for almost a day

And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
I almost loved you
I almost wished you would've loved me too

I almost held up a grocery store
Where I almost did five years and then seven more
Cause I almost got bopped for a fight with a thug
Cause he almost made off with a bunch of the drugs
That I almost got hooked on cause you ran away
And I wish I would have had the nerve to ask you to stay

And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
almost had you
And I didn't even know it

And you kept me guessin'
And now I'm destined
To spend my time missing you
I almost wish you would a loved me too

Here I go thinkin' bout all the things I could have done
I'm gonna need a forklift cause all the baggage weighs a ton (baggage weighs a ton)
I know we had our problems, I can't remember one.

I almost forgot to say something else
And if I can't fit it in I'll keep it all to myself
I almost wrote a song about you today
But I tore it all up and then I threw it away

And I almost had you
But I guess that doesn't cut it
Almost had you
And I didn't even know it

You kept me guessin'
And now I'm destined
To spend my time missin' you
And I almost had you
(Almost had you)
Almost had you

I almost wished you would've loved me too
(wished you would've loved me too)

This was a music video for the song Almost. We chose the song Almost by Bowling for Soup because we felt that it wasn't very moody or too slow or fast paced. This allowed us to shoot with what we had planned prior to taking the video and gave us enough artistic freedom to mess around with the shots and still make sure that nothing was out of place. We felt that the song's lyrics contained simplicity and meaning. It allowed the feeling to be expressed which allowed us to make our own artistic rendering of what we felt that the song  portrayed.

Again Please give me your constructive criticism so that I can learn how to better my self.
