Kai Lim - Almost Time

She checked the time four times in ten minutes. She rearranged her hair twice. She's twenty minutes early, which she never is. Someone at the next table smiled at her knowingly. She thought waiting was the empty kind. Turns out waiting for you has a pulse. [Lyrics] I've checked the time four times in the last ten minutes Which I know is not a normal amount of checking And I rearranged my hair twice for no reason And ordered something I didn't want just for the having I'm twenty minutes early which I never am But today early felt like the right amount of care And now I'm sitting here pretending to be casual About the fact that you're about to come through there I didn't know that waiting could feel like this I thought waiting was the empty kind But waiting for you has a particular quality That I would describe as the best use of my time Almost time, you're almost here Almost time, the best part of the year Almost time, I've checked four times, I know Almost time, two minutes ago I thought waiting was the thing between the things But it turns out waiting for you has a pulse and it sings Almost time, almost time I can see the door from here Almost time I looked up every time the door opened wrong And tried to make my expression something neutral But neutral isn't possible with this particular waiting Because the waiting itself is too eventful Someone at the next table smiled at me knowingly Which means it's visible in some way I can't control And I think that's fine because honestly The waiting is already worth it on its own I didn't know that waiting could feel like this I thought waiting was the empty kind But waiting for you has a particular quality That I would describe as the best use of my time Almost time, you're almost here Almost time, the best part of the year Almost time, I've checked four times, I know Almost time, two minutes ago I thought waiting was the thing between the things But it turns out waiting for you has a pulse and it sings Almost time, almost time I can see the door from here Almost time The door The door That's you That's you Almost time, you're almost here Almost time, the best part of the year Almost time, I've checked four times, I know Almost time, two minutes ago I thought waiting was the thing between the things But it turns out waiting for you has a pulse and it sings Almost time, almost time I can see the door from here Almost time Not almost Here Almost time You're here ⓒ 2026 Kai Lim.
