Almost Ready

Verse 1: Keys by the door, lights turned low You’re checking the time like you always do Dress hanging loose on the back of the chair I’m almost there — I swear I’m almost there Verse 2: You call my name down the hallway That half-laugh you don’t even try to hide I catch my reflection, slow it down Take one breath before I step outside Pre-Chorus: I’ve been a thousand different versions of me But this one fits just right Chorus: I’m almost ready — don’t rush me now Got one last mirror, one last smile I’m not running late, I’m right on time Just finishing up the life I love Yeah, I’m almost ready — I always am Just needed one more second to stand where I stand Verse 3: You grab my hat, hold it out Like you already know what comes next I take it from you, tip it low Catch your eye — yeah, you get the look Pre-Chorus: I used to disappear in the in-between Now I know exactly where I’ve been Chorus: I’m almost ready — don’t rush me now Got one last mirror, one last smile I’m not running late, I’m right on time Just finishing up the life I love Yeah, I’m almost ready — I always am Just needed one more second to stand where I stand Bridge: If you’re waiting by the car I’m already halfway there If you think I took too long You should see me now — right here Final Chorus: I’m almost ready — open the door Sunlight’s already on the floor I’m not looking back, I don’t need to Everything I am is coming too Yeah, I’m almost ready — can’t you tell I’ve never felt this much like myself Outro: Alright… Now we can go.
