Homesick Lyrics

There was ease in the backwoods, quiet and green

But the spice of life always seemed missing

So I'd read and sing and draw impossible things

Because reality wasn't forgiving

I'd dream a place full of color and limitless wonder

Of things that were bigger than, bigger than me

I'd have big adventures dosed with intentions of

Curing the hurt with a grand remedy

But now I've flown and I'm out here on my own

I thought things would naturally click

But I'm more scared than ever and I'm not feeling better

I'm spinning around, I'm homesick

Growing up felt like a chore list, littered with rules

Expectations and standards, right and wrong

So my minutes and hours and days I'd stare at the sun

Fantasizing of finding the place I'd belong

I'd dream a place full of color and limitless wonder

Of things that were bigger than, bigger than me

I'd have big adventures dosed with intentions of

Curing the hurt with a grand remedy

But now I've flown and I'm out here on my own

I thought things would naturally click

But I'm more scared than ever and I'm not feeling better

I'm spinning around, I'm homesick

It's long winding roads

Cornfields and duplicate suburban homes

It's dark, late night drives

Dairy Queen milkshakes, McDonalds fries

It's small, rushing creeks

Getting wet and dry, summer air so sweet

It's a car loaded for goodbye

With not a single tear forming in my eye

But now I've flown and I've found me on my own

And now everything has naturally clicked

You can't really miss, a home you've never kissed

So I guess I can't say I'm homesick

I guess I can't say I'm homesick

I guess I can't say I'm homesick
