The first time I saw you I knew what I knew,
That I could be nowhere without you,
Working on songs ‘til my fingers were blue.
Determined you’ll know they’re about you.
And if I could fly,
And if you would stay for a little while,
And I’m almost grown,
I am on my own,
It’s the right time to listen,
A liar can learn,
Are we almost home?
Are we almost home?
A place in the sandbox,
The man on the moon is dancing like there’s no tomorrow,
Nails on the chalkboard,
I’ll clean up my room,
A corner to sit in my sorrow.
But I think I could fly if you would stay for a little while,
And I’m almost grown,
I am on my own,
It’s a fine time to listen,
A liar could learn,
Are we almost home?
Are we almost home?
And I think I could fly if you would stay for a little while,
And I’m almost grown,
I am on my own,
It’s a fine time to listen,
A liar could learn,
Are we almost home?
Are we almost home?
