“Almost Home”

I’ve been good at fixing things that don’t talk back

Wires and wheels, old scars and facts

But hearts ain’t circuits, they don’t stay

Together just ‘cause you will them that way

I’ve loved with patience, loved too long

Held the door, held my tongue

Watched the light leave someone’s eyes

While I stayed, trying not to ask why

I don’t fall fast, I don’t give easy

I don’t quit just ‘cause it ain’t pretty

I’m still here, I still believe

There’s a front porch meant for me

I’ve been close, I’ve been alone

I’ve been lost but not done

I ain’t broken, just holding on

I’m almost home

I’ve learned silence can sound like truth

When you want something bad enough to excuse

I’ve played strong, I’ve played fair

Loved people who were halfway there

I don’t need perfect, don’t need forever today

Just someone who won’t walk away

When it gets quiet, when it gets real

When the work shows up with the feel

I don’t fall fast, I don’t give easy

I don’t quit just ‘cause it ain’t pretty

I’m still here, I still believe

There’s a front porch meant for me

I’ve been close, I’ve been alone

I’ve been right, I’ve been wrong

I ain’t bitter, just moving on

I’m almost home

I don’t need saving, don’t need fixing

Just someone who stays when they’re listening

I’ll bring the fire, I’ll bring the calm

Just meet me where I am

I don’t fall fast, but I fall true

When I do, it’s all for you

I’ve walked miles on my own

But I’m ready not to anymore

I’ve been searching, I’ve grown strong

Learned the difference between right and gone

If you’re out there hearing this song

I’m almost home

Yeah… almost home
