Am I a million miles away?
My mind's up in the clouds of grey,
Will I be on my feet some day,
We'll see
Because I don't hear what people say,
I've never felt so far away,
But please don't let your patience fray,
With me
Cos i'm making the most of all i've got
Some things have stayed and some things have not
Like the way your heart strings play the perfect tune,
The way you brighten up the room,
You make me feel close to home
But when i'm away the music always sounds the same,
The pictures never fit the frame,
How I wish I was close to home,
I wish I was close to home
And i'd like to say this wasn't a struggle,
But i'm losing hope, and bits of this puzzle
It's ripped away one puzzle piece at a time
So i'm scrambling for some sense of this mess,
Just a crutch to stand on so I can address,
A starting point, to get things back in line
Cos i'm making the most of all i've got
Some things have stayed and some things have not
Like the way your heart strings play the perfect tune,
The way you brighten up the room,
You make me feel close to home
But when i'm away the music always sounds the same,
The pictures never fit the frame,
How I wish I was close to home,
I wish I was close to home
Oh just give me one more moment,
Keep your arms open
I know it seems it,
But i'm not broken
I feel wheels turning,
Don't close the curtain,
The flame's still burning,
Is it me that's fading out?
Like the way that I would always know your face,
The way i'd always found my place,
When I was close to home
But now the brightest rooms they never seem to glow,
The nurses tell me I should know,
That it's been years since i've been home,
I'll never be close to home.
