[Verse 1]
Sat in a hotel lobby
Rich kids with all the trimmings
Their outfits hurt my feelings, oh, well
I should probably send you a postcard
From this room without a window
But I haven't made my bed since last year
And nothing's changed
[Chorus]
I'm a little bit homesick, but
I don't wanna go home yet
'Cause I don't think that I'll come back
You said there's no shame in that, oh
I'm a little bit homesick, and
Haven't made any friends yet
'Cause I don't think that I'll come back
You said there's no shame in that, oh
[Verse 2]
Wish I could find a pay phone
Credits costing 50 something
I'm not introverted
It's just roaming charges
[Chorus]
I'm a little bit homesick, but
I don't wanna go home yet
'Cause I don't think that I'll come back
You said there's no shame in that, oh
I'm a little bit homesick, and
Haven't made any friends yet
'Cause I don't think that I'll come back
You said there's no shame in that, oh
[Bridge]
I, I am falling
I hoped for more than this
I, I am falling
I hoped for more than this
(I, I am falling) This place is not my home
(I hoped for more than this) I've got nowhere to go
(I, I am falling) This place is not my home
(I hoped for more than this) I've got nowhere to go
[Chorus]
I'm a little bit homesick, but
I don't wanna go home yet
'Cause I don't think that I'll come back
You said there's no shame in that, oh
I'm a little bit homesick, and
Haven't made any friends yet
'Cause I don't think that I'll come back
You said there's no shame in that, oh
I'm a little bit homesick, but
I don't wanna go home yet
'Cause I don't think that I'll come back
You said there's no shame in that, oh

I wrote ‘Homesick’ on a trip to LA. It’s about when I first moved to London from Ireland and really missed home, but also being determined to stick it out so it doesn’t look like I failed at moving away.
The lyrics give a bit of insight to how hard it is to move away at a young age and the loneline...
