From the recording Almost Here (A Song For Us)
Lyrics
We built castles out of bedsheets,
Ran barefoot through the years,
Shared secrets in the shadows,
And laughed away the fears.
Then time pulled us in directions
We never thought we’d go,
Different skies and different mornings,
But we always shared one soul.
And all the winding roads we’ve taken,
All the silence in between —
It brought us here, and now I’m seeing
What forever really means.
When we get there, we’ll light up the porch,
Kids in the yard, hearts running full force.
We’ll dance in the kitchen,
Cry when we need,
Grow into the future we always believed.
After all this time, we’re finally near —
It’s been a long road,
But we’re almost here.
There were birthdays that we missed,
And stories we didn’t tell,
But I carried you in moments
When I needed someone else.
You were always in the rearview,
Even when the miles were wide,
A chapter never finished
Still waiting to be right.
And I never stopped believing
We’d be laughing side by side —
Like the summers that still echo
In the corners of my mind.
When we get there, we’ll light up the porch,
Kids in the yard, hearts running full force.
We’ll dance in the kitchen,
Cry when we need,
Grow into the future we always believed.
After all this time, we’re finally near —
It’s been a long road,
But we’re almost here.
Maybe this is what it means
To come back home again —
Not to the place, but to the people
You knew before it all began.
Now we’re getting there — go ahead, unlock the door,
We’ve got time to make up for, love to restore.
We’ll build something stronger
Than what we had then…
And I’ll never take for granted this second chance again.
Yeah, we made it, and it’s crystal clear:
We’re not alone anymore —
We’re finally here.
