Almost Honest Lyrics

Cover art for Almost Honest lyrics by Josh Kelley

I figured it was about infidelity, but I didn't know how to interpret certain lyrics.

The first stanza is definitely about him at some bar flirting with a girl who's "easy," and do to his vulnerability, so is he.

The refrain/chorus is what I had problems interpreting, really. I thought maybe the reflection stuff was him not being able to look at himself without thinking about his girlfriend (on the other side of the reflection) due to the guilt.

And I'm not sure what he means by "almost honest." I could be that he either was "almost honest" with his girlfriend in that he didn't tell her cheated when he wrote that latter. Or, it could be that he's saying he was "almost honest" in that he almost didn't cheat, but he did. And now, it's over. This brings me to my favorite line of the song: "My reflection, in the window when I ride. Could not save us, but I swear to God I tried."
