Homesick
Declan J Donovan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I didn't wanna wake you when I left
To catch my plane
And I'll be trailing through the sky
Just another silhouette up high
Before you wake
You tell me that you had that dream again
I wish that we could live inside your head
And I know that you'll feel better
When you're sat there in my sweater
That I gave you to remember
Being on the sofa next to me
And I'm waking up at 6:00 a.m.
To call before you go to bed
And tell you 'bout the day I've planned
And listen to the one you had
And when I'm homesick
I've got you on my home screen
So anywhere I'm going
I know that you'll be with me
Until I hold you, darling
Your friends, they ask you all the time
Why'd you wanna wait another night
When I'm not home?
And nothing seems to settle down
Just another day, another town
And we're alone
But I can never let this go to waste
The further that I go
The more I seem to love you every day
And I know that you'll feel better
When you're sat there in my sweater
That I gave you to remember
Being on the sofa next to me
And I'm waking up at 6:00 a.m.
To call before you go to bed
And tell you 'bout the day I've planned
And listen to the one you had
And when I'm homesick
I've got you on my home screen
So anywhere I'm going
I know that you'll be with me
Until I hold you
When I'm homesick
I've got you on my home screen
So anywhere I'm going
I know that you'll be with me
Until I hold you, darling
I know that you'll feel better
When you're sat there in my sweater
That I gave you to remember
Being on the sofa next to me
And when I'm homesick
I've got you on my home screen
So anywhere I'm going
I know that you'll be with me
Until I hold you
When I'm homesick
I've got you on my home screen
So anywhere I'm going
I know that you'll be with me
Until I hold you, darling

You look so peaceful in our bed
Seeing you sleeping in our bed gives me a sense of peace and comfort
I didn't wanna wake you when I left
I didn't want to disturb your peaceful sleep when I left
To catch my plane
I had to leave to catch my flight
And I'll be trailing through the sky
I'll be traveling through the air on my flight
Just another silhouette up high
I'll be another anonymous person traveling in the sky
Before you wake
By the time you wake up, I'll be on my flight
You tell me that you had that dream again
You've been having the same dream repeatedly
When I didn't have to go
In your dreams, I didn't have to leave
I wish that we could live inside your head
I wish we could stay together in your dreams forever
And I know that you'll feel better
I'm aware that you'll feel better
When you're sat there in my sweater
When you wear my sweater
That I gave you to remember
That I gave you as a reminder of me
Being on the sofa next to me
When we used to sit on the sofa together
And I'm waking up at 6:00 a.m.
I wake up at 6:00 a.m.
To call before you go to bed
To talk to you before you go to sleep
And tell you 'bout the day I've planned
To tell you about my plans for the day
And listen to the one you had
To listen to your plans for the day
And when I'm homesick
When I'm missing home and you
I've got you on my home screen
I keep your picture on my home screen
So anywhere I'm going
Wherever I go
I know that you'll be with me
I feel like you're with me
Until I hold you, darling
Until I see you in person
Your friends, they ask you all the time
Your friends keep asking you repeatedly
Why'd you wanna wait another night
Why do you want to wait another night to see me?
When I'm not home?
When I'm away from home
And nothing seems to settle down
Nothing makes you feel calm and at ease
Just another day, another town
Every day and every town is just the same for you
And we're alone
We're alone and miles apart
But I can never let this go to waste
I can't let this relationship go to waste
The further that I go
The farther I travel away from you
The more I seem to love you every day
The more I realize my love for you every day
