Almost Ready Lyrics

I've been asking 'round if you were there
Asking, but I'm always scared
Asking 'cause I want to care again
Come on life
I'm almost ready
Not right
I'm almost ready

I've been wondering if the message sent
Wondering if I made a dent
Wondering what it is you meant again
Come on life
I'm almost ready
Not right
I'm almost ready

Can you see me there?
'cause I'm not sure
See me, 'cause I lost my nerve
See me there, 'cause I feel worse again
Come on life
I'm almost ready
Not right
I'm almost ready

Let me find the truth I will attack
Find the truth, I won't go back
Find the truth, I'm way off track again

Come on life
I'm almost ready
Not right
I'm almost ready
Come on life
I'm almost ready
Not right
I'm almost ready
I'm almost ready
I'm almost ready

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Right, nothing too deep. Kinda about never being 100% ready for anything.

Your never ready to give that big speech. You're always "almost ready"

mediocre song. 4 out of ten. Not a whole not of deep meaning therefore not artistic. It keeps your head bobbing though.
