So since I am NOT doing Almost Home, I figured I'd share my concept with y'all. Basically, the title reminded me of the saying "There's no place like home", and I'd already had the idea for a line like "It feels like almost home" in my head when I was starting to write the song. I really loved the idea (and still do), but I just couldn't pull it off in the way that I wanted. Here is the song if any of you are stumped on what to write about. Maybe my song could spark your own idea for Almost Home or something.
(Almost) Home[Verse 1]
Just packed my bags and moved down South
I got that job I’d dreamed about
The money’s great; I can’t complain
But it’s hard being so far away
I had to leave my man behind
I think about him all the time
And I already miss my hometown
It gets to me when the lights go out
[Chorus]
I start to think of my golden days
About my family and friends I’d made
But when those cozy feelings fade
That’s when I start to feel alone
I’ll pick up the phone to make some calls
Just to ask if I’m missed at all
I’ve hung some pictures up on the wall
To make it feel like almost home
[Verse 2]
Although it’s been about 4 months
Being far away from home’s still tough
I got a raise, and though that’s great
I’m feeling like I’m about to break
My relationship is on the rocks
And when I turn all the lights off
I start to think of my former life
It gets to me, when awake at night
[Chorus]
I start to think of my golden days
About my family and friends I’d made
But when those cozy feelings fade
That’s when I start to feel alone
I’ll pick up the phone to make some calls
Just to ask if I’m missed at all
I’ve hung some pictures up on the wall
To make it feel like almost home
[Bridge]
Now I look around
I see my bags on the ground
I’m tearing these pictures down
And I’m heading for my home town
Getting in my ride
I’m coming back home tonight
I’m kissing that job goodbye
I’m reclaiming my former life
I’m tired of being so alone
I’m tired of feeling almost home
[Outro]
Never again will I go far away
Here in my city is where I will stay
Never again will I feel alone
Never again...will I be almost home
Almost home...
