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

Growin' old without you

Shadows bleeding through the light

Where the love once shined so bright

Came without a reason

But don't let go on us tonight

Love's not always black and white

Well 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

Bruised and battered by your words

Dazed and shattered, now 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

(Ooh)

Bruised and battered by your words

Dazed and shattered, now it hurts

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
