Close To Home

Am I a million miles away?
My mind’s up in the clouds of grey
Will I be on my feet some day
We’ll see
Because I don’t hear what people say
I’ve never felt so far away
But please don’t let your patience fray
With me
‘Cos I’m making the most of all I’ve got
Some things have stayed and some things have not
Like the way your heart strings play the perfect tune
The way you brighten up the room
You make me feel close to home
But when I’m away the music always sounds the same
The pictures never fit the frame
How I wish I was close to home
I wish I was close to home
And I’d like to say this wasn’t a struggle
But I’m losing hope, and bits of this puzzle
It’s ripped away one puzzle piece at a time
So I’m scrambling for some sense of this mess
Just a crutch to stand on so I can address
A starting point, to get things back in line
‘Cos I’m making the most of all I’ve got
Some things have stayed and some things have not
Like the way your heart strings play the perfect tune
The way you brighten up the room
You make me feel close to home
But when I’m away the music always sounds the same
The pictures never fit the frame
How I wish I was close to home
I wish I was close to home
Just give me one more moment
Keep your arms open
I know it seems it
But I’m not broken
I feel wheels turning
Don’t close the curtain
The flame’s still burning
Is it me that’s fading out?
Like the way that I would always know your face
The way I’d always found my place
When I was close to home
But now the brightest rooms they never seem to glow
The nurses tell me I should know
That it’s been years since I’ve been home
I’ll never be close to home
