For holding on for such dear life Here's where I let go I'm not running I'm not hiding I'm not reaching I'm just resting in the arms of the great wide open Gonna pull my soul in And I'm al - most home - Repeat Intro And I saw you this morning You were staring back at me >From an ancient photograph Stuck between some letters and some keys And I was lost for a moment In the ache of old good-byes Sometimes all that we can know is - There's no such thing as no regrets, and baby it's alright Chorus Solo - - There's no such thing as no regrets, and baby it's alright I'm not running I'm not hiding I'm not reaching I'm just resting in the arms of the great wide open Gonna pull my soul in And I'm al - most - I'm not running now I'm not hiding out I'm not reaching here I'm just resting in the arms of the great wide open Gonna pull my soul in And I'm al - most home And I'm al - most home And I'm al - most home - fade out
