almost home

(album: dawn - 2020)

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 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

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
