Almost Home

We went from counting days on calendars

To counting boxes stacked against the walls

Realtor said a number we weren’t ready for

Now it’s all moving faster than we thought

You’re ninety-five percent packed in that empty room

Closets echo everything we’ve been

I’m laying here alone for just a couple nights

But it feels like I’m missing you again

You’re tired, I hear it in your voice

Your boy’s been pushing every line

Wish I was there to take the weight

Instead of just the call at night

We built this in between the chaos

Floorboards, late nights, and your bath water running

Last year was a spark by the pool in the summer

Now we’re standing on the edge of something

Counting days turned into memories

Now it’s down to weeks ‘til I’m not alone

Yeah it hurts right now, but it’s temporary

We’re not apart, we’re just almost home

Three weeks felt like a lifetime in fast forward

Buzz ball drinking through the mess we made

Five dogs and a house full of noise coming

But I wouldn’t have it any other way

You stressed about the yard and every small thing

Maid service, details, getting it right

I just wanted you to breathe for a minute

And let me hold you through the night

We say goodbye, but it’s different now

There’s an end to every space

Friday night can’t come fast enough

I just want to see your face

We built this in between the chaos

Floorboards, late nights, and your bath water running

Last year was a spark by the pool in the summer

Now we’re standing on the edge of something

Counting days turned into memories

Now it’s down to weeks ‘til I’m not alone

Yeah it hurts right now, but it’s temporary

We’re not apart, we’re just almost home

In less than eight, it’s forever mornings

No more goodbyes at the end of the week

No more missing you across the distance

Just falling asleep to the sound of your breathing

Summer’s waiting on the other side

Sunlight through the window we’ll call ours

No more countdowns, no more distance

Just a life we built from all these hours

We built this in between the chaos

Every breakdown, every moment we stayed

Last year we were just learning to love it

Now we’re living in the life that we made

Counting days turned into everything

Now there’s no more space left to roam

Yeah it hurts right now, but it’s temporary

We’re not apart

We’re almost home
