Almost Here Lyrics
Did I hear you right
'cause I thought you said
Let's think it over
You have been my life
And I never planned
Growing old without you
Shadows bleeding through the light
Where the love once shined so bright
Came without a reason
Don't let go on us tonight
Love's not always black and white
Haven't I always loved you?
But when I need you
You're almost here
And I know that's not enough
And when I'm with you
I'm close to tears
'cause your only almost here
I would change the world
If I had a chance
Oh won't you let me
Treat me like a child
Throw your arms around me
Oh please protect me
Bruised and battered by your words
Dazed and shattered how it hurts
Haven't I always loved you
But when I need you
You're almost here
And I know that's not enough
And when I'm with you
I'm close to tears
'cause your only almost here
Bruised and battered by your words
Dazed and shattered now it hurts
Haven't I always loved you
But when I need you
You're almost here
Well I never knew how far behind Id left you
And when I hold you your almost here
Well I'm sorry that I took our love for granted
And now I'm with you I'm close to tears
'cause I know I'm almost here
Only almost here
'cause I thought you said
Let's think it over
You have been my life
And I never planned
Growing old without you
Where the love once shined so bright
Came without a reason
Don't let go on us tonight
Love's not always black and white
Haven't I always loved you?
You're almost here
And I know that's not enough
And when I'm with you
I'm close to tears
'cause your only almost here
If I had a chance
Oh won't you let me
Treat me like a child
Throw your arms around me
Oh please protect me
Dazed and shattered how it hurts
Haven't I always loved you
You're almost here
And I know that's not enough
And when I'm with you
I'm close to tears
'cause your only almost here
Dazed and shattered now it hurts
Haven't I always loved you
You're almost here
Well I never knew how far behind Id left you
And when I hold you your almost here
Well I'm sorry that I took our love for granted
And now I'm with you I'm close to tears
'cause I know I'm almost here
Only almost here

This song is definitely my favourite off Mistaken Identity (her 2nd album). I believe it is about needing something or someone, but they are just out of your reach. Maybe a person who you're in love with, and they are already taken, or about loving someone and they don't know.
Overall, I love it so much...
This song is about being in a relationship in which you are much more invested in than your partner they only always seem 'almost here'. Delta has told Brian that she needs to rethink the relationship, and Brian can't understand that because he asks 'haven't I always love you?' At the end of the song Brian comes to realize that he has indeed taken Delta's love for granted and that he was only 'almost here.'
(used 'Delta' and 'Brian' to make it less confusing to explain; The female & male voice obviously, not in reality.)
this song's so sad. :(
beautiful song, but i wonder why nobody send the comments here. ;)
Prolly cos the song was only just released on single... I gotta admit it is a pretty good song from the 'couple'.
this song gets in my head.when i heard it on the album i never knew they were together and was thinking why she was doing a duet.when i heard it on the radio im like:hey!i know this song!i finally knew a song BEFORE it came out.thats never hapned before tome.i always seem to buy the album when the songs have died out.............it is a beautiful in your head song.:D
/Myyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Song and meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee and myyyyyyyyyy boyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy. . . DAMMIT !
wtf glass eyed betty
awww they're so cute together!
Brian wrote this towards the end of his marriage to Kerry, and after hearing Delta on the radio asked her to sing it with him as a duet. She was also having troubles in her relationship at the time and could relate to the lyrics. So it seems to be about a relationship that Brian (in the song) had somewhat taken for granted, and now realising how unhappy his partner is (about him being emotionally unavailable perhaps?), he'd do anything for her to stay with him.
