歌詞

I took the wrong turn slow

Past the laundromat glow

On a street I didn't know

Where the windows held their breath

A little board by the door

Paint chipped, leaning toward

The rain on the corner store

Said almost, and nothing less

Almost home

Almost there

I read it like a prayer

Almost warm

Almost kind

Enough to ease my mind

A small sign said almost

And I held on tight

A small sign said almost

In the pale day light

Not there yet

Still okay

I can rest in the in-between

A small sign said almost

And it comforted me

I watched a bike roll by

A dog with an open eye

A man in a yellow tie

And a cat on a milk crate

The air felt soft enough

For my shoes, for my luck

For the little broken stuff

To be not enough, not late

Almost home

Almost near

That was all I needed here

Almost sure

Almost true

Like the street knew what to do

A small sign said almost

And I held on tight

A small sign said almost

In the pale day light

Not there yet

Still okay

I can rest in the in-between

A small sign said almost

And it comforted me

Maybe not arriving

Is the gentlest part

Maybe every detour

Keeps a little heart

Open, open

To the place unknown

Open, open

Till I feel less alone

A small sign said almost

And I held on tight

A small sign said almost

In the pale day light

Not there yet

Still okay

I can rest in the in-between

A small sign said almost

And it comforted me

Almost

Almost

Still walking

Still warm
