Homesick
A.J. Fullerton Lyrics

You look so peaceful in our bed
I didn't want to disturb your sleep as I left to catch my flight.

And I'll be trailing through the sky
I'll be flying high up in the air.

Just another silhouette up high
I'll blend in with the sky and appear as a dark outline.

Before you wake
By the time you wake up, I'll be far away.

You tell me that you had that dream again
You mention having a recurring dream when I don't have to leave.

When I didn't have to go
During times when I could stay with you.

I wish that we could live inside your head
I wish we could spend more time together and not have to be apart.

And I know that you'll feel better
I'm aware that you'll feel comforted by the gift of my sweater.

When you're sat there in my sweater
When you're wearing my sweater, it'll be like I'm still there with you.

That I gave you to remember
The sweater is a reminder of our cozy times together.

Being on the sofa next to me
The times we've cuddled together on the couch.

And I'm waking up at 6AM
I get up early to call you before you go to bed.

To call before you go to bed
So we can catch up before we both go to sleep in different time zones.

And tell you 'bout the day I've planned
I share my plans for the day and what I'm up to.

And listen to the one you had
I want to hear about your day and what you've been doing too.

And when I'm homesick
When I'm sad and missing you.

I got you on my home screen
I have pictures of you on my phone's home screen so I can see you whenever I miss you.

So anywhere I'm going
No matter where I am or how far I travel.

I know that you'll be with me
You're always in my heart and thoughts, even when we're apart.

Until I hold you, darling
Until I can hold you in my arms again, my love.

Your friends, they ask you all the time
Your friends often question why you stay loyal to me and wait for my return.

Why'd you wanna wait another night?
They question why you choose to continue being in a long-distance relationship.

And nothing seems to settle down
Things never seem to calm down or become less chaotic when I'm gone.

Just another day, another town
Every day feels the same, and every place I go to feels unfamiliar.

But I can never let this go to waste
I don't want to waste the time we have together, even if it's in small bursts.

The further that I go
The more distance I put between us.

The more I seem to love you every day
But the more I miss you, the more I realize how much I truly love you.
