Homesick
Camp Kona Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Missing everything and I can't stop missing us
Walking through the streets after dark always kissing you
We can't resort to all our old tricks
So for now I'll sing 'cause I'm homesick

I can't look again tonight out
Windows I don't recognize and
What's so wrong with me
I'm struggling to sleep when I'm
Away from home I ache for you
My legs are weak I'm stumblin' through it
Trying hard to be
Stable on my feet

Missing everything and I can't stop missing us
Walking through the streets after dark always kissing you
We can't resort to all our old tricks
So for now I'll sing 'cause I'm homesick

I can't look again tonight out
Windows I don't recognize and
What's so wrong with me
I'm struggling to keep myself
Content, it's tiring faking smiles
I'm saving face and all the while I'm
Trying hard to be
Stronger than I seem

Missing everything and I can't stop missing us
Walking through the streets after dark always kissing you
We can't resort to all our old tricks
So for now I'll sing 'cause I'm homesick

I wanna go back to those shiny summers
Before seasons turned to fall
I wanna go back to under the covers
Where I thought I had it all
I wanna drive with you to mountain view
See the sun go down
I wanna go back home to California

Missing everything and I can't stop missing us
Walking through the streets after dark always kissing you
Never missed something like this I think I'm gonna be sick
Never hit me like this
I think I'm homesick

Missing everything and I can't stop missing us
Walking through the streets after dark always kissing you
We can't resort to all our old tricks
So for now I'll sing 'cause I'm homesick

And I can't stop




We can't resort to all our old tricks
'Cause I'm homesick
