Almost Time to Go - Jason Webley

Guess you never really stuck around

All that long anywhere

I guess I should have known that you’d skip town

You always did catch me unawares

Looking now at your debris

These trails of paper strewn across the floor

Towards an open door

Look at all you’ve gathered, all you own

Hold it in your hand, does it weigh more than a single feather?

If the things you feel outsmart the things you know

It’s almost time, it’s almost time to go

I don’t know if you struggled at the end

I know at times you fought like hell

I know that sleep was never quite your friend

I hope that now you’re resting well

Old band names and alma maters

A patchwork quilt of people you have been

Tattooed on your skin

Look at all you’ve gathered, all you own

Hold it in your hand, does it weigh more than a single feather?

If the things you feel outsmart the things you know

It’s almost time, it’s almost time to go Think of people, places you have known

Sculpted out of sand, the tide’s coming in and we’re going nowhere

If your feet are still in shoes that they’ve outgrown

It’s almost time, it’s almost time

Think of seed you’ve scattered and you’ve sown

All out of your hands, lost in the wind like a little feather

And the things you feel outsmart the things you know

It’s almost time, it’s almost time

It’s almost time, it’s almost time

It’s almost time, it’s almost time to go
