Almost Time to Go |
Guess you never really stuck around |
All that long anywhere |
I guess I should have known that you’d skip town |
You always did catch me unawares |
Looking now at your debris |
These trails of paper strewn across the floor |
Towards an open door |
Look at all you’ve gathered, all you own |
Hold it in your hand, does it weigh more than a single feather? |
If the things you feel outsmart the things you know |
It’s almost time, it’s almost time to go |
I don’t know if you struggled at the end |
I know at times you fought like hell |
I know that sleep was never quite your friend |
I hope that now you’re resting well |
Old band names and alma maters |
A patchwork quilt of people you have been |
Tattooed on your skin |
Look at all you’ve gathered, all you own |
Hold it in your hand, does it weigh more than a single feather? |
If the things you feel outsmart the things you know |
It’s almost time, it’s almost time to go Think of people, places you have known |
Sculpted out of sand, the tide’s coming in and we’re going nowhere |
If your feet are still in shoes that they’ve outgrown |
It’s almost time, it’s almost time |
Think of seed you’ve scattered and you’ve sown |
All out of your hands, lost in the wind like a little feather |
And the things you feel outsmart the things you know |
It’s almost time, it’s almost time |
It’s almost time, it’s almost time |
It’s almost time, it’s almost time to go |
