Almost Gone

I know I lost my innocence
I think it might be back again
There is a side of everything
I will never, ever know
When all the traffic noise is dead
There is an ocean in my head
The silence muffled what you said
Say it clearly, say it slow

It's almost gone, almost gone
The colours in the sky will run
It's almost gone, the night has come
I guess it's time we're moving on

I read a book on happiness
And wrote a letter unaddressed
All of the words that clog my chest
I will never, ever speak
Soak up the green, forgiving space
The rising smoke and ancient pace
The way it all just hangs in place
You feel stronger when you're weak

It's almost gone, almost gone
The colours in the sky will run
It's almost gone, the night has come
I guess it's time we're moving on
It's almost gone, it won't be long
There's sorrow in the setting sun
It's almost gone, the night has come
I hope we'll see another one

Breaking bread underneath canopies, promises
Failure is a feature, if you're human, then it's guaranteed
Tell you who I am, could you show me who I'm gonna be?
Clever slight of hand doesn't do it for me
Heavy air, glistening, deep dark listening
Falling's unavoidable to get away from where you've been
I think I have a song, there's a line in it for you to sing
Would you sing it for me?

It's almost gone, almost gone
Almost gone, it's almost gone
It's almost gone, almost gone
The colours in the sky will run
It's almost gone and the night has come
I guess it's time we're moving on

Almost gone, almost gone
Almost gone and the night has come
