Almost Home

The walls look so blank
the way they never looked before,
used to call this almost home,
before I longed to let you in the door,
the way I never longed for that before,
pictures and colours, pretty things,
somehow don't seem to mean as much,
the walls look so bleak,
the way they never looked before,
used to call this almost home,
before I longed to let you in the door,
the way I never longed before,
to want you in my life, my love,
the way I never wanted before,
used to call this almost home,
before I longed to let you in the door,
the way I never longed before,
you would not come nearer,
you pushed me further,
now nowhere feels like almost home
I longed to let you in, anywhere I go,
the way I never longed before,
with you it felt like I found home
the way I never felt before,
before I longed to let you in,
the way I never longed before.
