Homesick
Animal Sun Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here I sit once again dreaming of a world that never ends
And though I've felt this before it doesn't seem pain me anymore

We all face our own pride
Or fall to fear what's inside
Shaken by the unknown
Breaking but not letting go
And I'm not
Going, not going home
And I'm not going, not going home
We could wander through dark alone
But I'm not going, not going home
Don't you fear

Open up my eyes and see
Everything I've lost in front of me
Is this who you are?
And though I've felt like this before
It doesn't seem to pain me anymore
Don't ever lose track don't ever look back
Tonight we are fire burning bright

Going, not going home
And I'm not going, not going home
We could wander through dark alone
But I'm not going, not going home
Don't you fear

So stop the sentimental making of these lies
There's too many wishes bent on second tries
And if the answer doesn't make you feel alive
It's not too late for you I know we can survive
One day thrive, if you could see

I'm not coming, I'm not coming home
I'm not coming, I'm not coming home
I'm not coming, I'm not coming home
I'm not coming, I'm not coming home
I'm not coming, I'm not coming home

Going, not going home
I want to believe in something new
Going, not going home
Set me free from the abuse
Going, not going home
I want to believe in something new




Going, not going home
So don't you fear, don't you fear...

I love how the Female reach the point that she was just done with the males trying to one up each other. At first it was cool, bit the longer it when. She was like "Seriously?"
