Almost Home Again

[Verse]
You said
“Text me when you land”
But I just saved it in my drafts
Watched my phone going blank
Scrolling through these empty chats
Same blue sweater in July
Same old playlist in your car
You were humming out of tune
Daydreaming on a shooting star

[Chorus]
I keep almost calling
Almost saying everything
Halfway through a message
Backspacing every line, I bring
We were almost something
I was almost brave back then
Every time I hear your name
I’m almost home again

[Verse 2]
Moved your hoodie to my chair
So, It doesn’t lay beside my bed
Friends keep asking how you are
I just laugh and change what I’ve said
Got your birthday on my phone
Set a reminder
Turned it off
All these tiny quiet ways
I keep holding on and letting go at once

[Chorus]
I keep almost calling
Almost saying everything
Halfway through a message
Backspacing every line, I bring
We were almost something
I was almost brave back then
Every time I hear your name
I’m almost home again

[Bridge]
Maybe in some other life
We don’t learn by losing touch
You’d be waiting at my gate
I’d be running
Breathless
Rushed
But I’m standing in this kitchen
Bare feet on the midnight floor
Whispering your name to the ceiling
Like you’re walking through my door (oh)

[Chorus]
I keep almost calling
Almost saying everything
Halfway through a message
Backspacing every line, I bring
We were almost something
I was almost brave back then
Every time i hear your name
I’m almost home again
Cause I was home again
