almost home

Just close your eyes

Soon we'll be home

Fall asleep to the radio

Strangers pass by

Red, green and gold

I wonder what they're all waiting for

I was just a kid

Dreams were looking big and then I had to grow up

No one ever says

"All the love you give might not be enough"

Broke my heart in two a couple times

Before it hurt too much

I was such a fool

Didn't know the rules of playing make believe

Didn't know that getting old would come and meet me

Wishing on a star

Waiting on a car

To take me away

And my mama'd say

"Just close your eyes

Soon we'll be home

Fall asleep to the radio"

Strangers pass by

Red, green and gold

I wonder what they're all waiting for

Just close your eyes

Just close your eyes

Living day to day

Weeks become the same

Everything's a blur

What's it gonna take?

What's the final say?

Is this all worth it?

Wishing on a star

Waiting on a car

To take me away

And my mom would say

"Just close your eyes

Soon we'll be home

Fall asleep to the radio"

Strangers pass by

Red, green and gold

I wonder what they're all waiting for

Just close your eyes

Just close your eyes
