“Homesick” is a song about feeling lost on the road while touring, missing family and stability, but also desiring the excitement and importance of making art.
[Verse 1]
You can't make history if you're stuck at home
As much as I wanna be
Stability comforts me
But I constantly rebel against myself
Pushing for what makes me feel uneasy
[Verse 2]
The lines light up like white stars on a black night
So homesick I might throw up
Fill my empty chair with your friends
Because I can't tell where this begins or ends
And now I can finally see
How this has become a part of me
But I'll be back, mama
[Chorus]
I promise to come back soon
I'm feeling homesick
And I miss you too, oh
Losing track of how I'm feeling now
Try to keep my head up in the clouds
I promise to come back soon, oh
I'm coming home
[Verse 3]
I know I'm way too young to worry like this
Still writing my memories
Still in my same old diary
So that when I'm old I can look back and say
What it all meant to me
To finally feel like I'm free
But I'll be back, mama
[Chorus]
I promise to come back soon
I'm feeling homesick
And I miss you too, oh
Losing track of how I'm feeling now
Try to keep my head up in the clouds
I promise to come back soon, oh
I'm coming home
Oh, whoa
I'm coming home
[Bridge]
I wanna make history
But I'm stuck at home
And I don't wanna be
As much as it comforts me
[Chorus]
I promise to come back soon
I'm feeling homesick
And I miss you too, oh
Losing track of how I'm feeling now
Try to keep my head up in the clouds
I promise to come back soon, oh
I'm coming home
Oh, whoa
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
