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
It came without a reason
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 (oh)

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
