Almost Home
Sultan + Shepard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I knew I would be your wife
The choice I had I couldn't make
When I leave, remember that
I'll be back again
I'll be back again
Touch of heart, kiss of faith
Carry me through the haze
When you fall, you're the one
Always on my mind
All the loss and all the pain
Open arms await
Hold on, baby, I'm almost home
I'm almost home
I'm almost home, I said
Hold on, baby, I'm almost home
I'm almost home
I'm almost home
Will you call for me?
Will you wait and see?
What you mean to me?
I said hold on, love, will you call for me?
Will you wait and see?
What you mean to me?
I said hold on, hold on
Oh, oh, hold on, hold on
Oh, oh, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
As she cries through the night
Promises of a life
Familiar voice, hear my name
Echoing feel the weight
I'll be back again
I'll be back again
Acts of God like a bear
Song of love, kiss and tear
Free of words, free of mind
I'll go forward by your side
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
All the loss and all the pain
Open arms await
Hold on, baby, I'm almost home
I'm almost home
I'm almost home, you said
Hold on, baby, I'm almost home
I'm almost home
I'm almost home
Will you call for me?
Will you wait and see?
What you mean to me?
I said hold on, love, will you call for me?
Will you wait and see?
What you mean to me?
I said hold on, hold on
Oh, oh, hold on, hold on
Oh, oh, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
(Hold on, baby)
(Hold on, baby)
The lyrics of Sultan + Shepard's song "Almost Home" provide a mix of melancholic and hopeful emotions regarding the singer's relationship with their partner. The first verse shows the singer's certainty that they will marry their partner, but they ultimately couldn't choose to stay with them. However, they promise to come back to them when they leave. The second verse shows a kind of spiritual bond between the partners, where they are anticipating each other's touch, and the singer is willing to "carry" their partner when they fall.
The chorus is a repeated plea from the singer to their partner to "hold on" because they're "almost home." This phrase can have many interpretations, but it could mean that the singer is on their way back to their partner soon. The bridge has the same plead and a question from the singer to their partner, asking if they'll call and wait for them until they come back. The song ends repeating the chorus, with the singer asking their partner to hold on.
The lyrics of "Almost Home" tell a story of two lovers having to be separated, but they promise to come back and be reunited. The chorus's repeated plea and the bridge's question emphasize the idea of the singer's determination to return to their partner.
