Almosthome

I saw my life this morning

Lyin' at the bottom of a drawer

All this stuff I'm savin'

God knows what this junk is for

And whatever I believed in

This is all I have to show

What the hell were all the reasons

For holding on for such dear life

Here's where I let go

I'm not running

I'm not hiding

I'm not reaching

I'm just resting in the arms of the great wide open

Gonna pull my soul in

And I'm almost home

I saw you this morning

You were staring back at me

From an ancient photograph

Stuck between some letters and some keys

And I was lost for a moment

In the ache of old goodbyes

Sometimes all that we can know is

That there's no such thing as no regrets

but baby it's all right

I'm not running

I'm not hiding

I'm not reaching

I'm just resting in the arms of the great wide open

Gonna pull my soul in

And I'm almost home

(Instrumental Bridge)

And there's no such thing as no regrets

But baby it's all right

I'm not running

I'm not hiding

I'm not reaching

I'm just resting in the arms of the great wide open

Gonna pull my soul in

And I'm almost...

I'm not running down

I'm not hiding out

I'm not reaching here

I'm just resting in the arms of the great wide open

Gonna pull my soul in

And I'm almost home

And I'm almost home

And I'm almost home
