Almost Here

Did I hear you right?

‘Cause I thought you said,

“Let's think it over.”

You have been my life,

and I never planned,

growing old without you.

Shadows bleeding through the light,

where the love once shined so bright,

came without a reason.

Don't let go on us tonight.

Love's not always black and white.

Haven't I always loved you?

But when I need you,

you're almost here,

and I know that's not enough.

And when I'm with you,

I'm close to tears,

'cause you're only almost here.

I would change the world,

if I had a chance.

Oh, won't you let me?

Treat me like a child,

throw your arms around me.

Oh please, protect me.

Bruise and battered by your words.

Days are shattered, how it hurts.

Oh, haven't I always loved you?

But when I need you,

you're almost here,

and I know that's not enough.

And when I'm with you,

I'm close to tears,

'cause you're only almost here.

Bruise and battered by your words.

Days are shattered, how it hurts.

Oh, haven't I always loved you?

But when I need you,

you're almost here.

Well, I never knew how far behind I'd left you.

And when I hold you,

you're almost here.

Well, I'm sorry that I took our love for granted.

And now I'm with you,

I'm close to tears,

'cause I know I'm almost here.

Only almost here.
