Homesick
Gentleman Feat. Milky Chance Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Homesick for a place you've never seen before
You love life but you can't find the key to its door
Where is the smile upon your face
Living in disgrace
Running but the wrong things you chase
Yeah, I'm not saying anything you've never heard before
But I hope this time it a go reach to your core
And now we can find ways again
To get things under control
Straight forward nuh waste time again
Movements cause the stone have to roll
The torch and light and the flame
The goodness in you to unchain
No more you are living in vain
Turn another page it won't be the same

And everybody's journey is their own
Haffi take the lead and no fall out
Now it's time to get up from the ground

And everybody's journey is their own
Haffi take the lead and no fall out
Now it's time to get up from the ground

And you're trying not to see the mess around you
But everywhere you turn it seems to abound you
In the mix of it the demons dem surround you
There's nothing they can do
To stop the love that has found you
Now the light and the truth can go round
Crucial to the riddim word power and sound, yeah
Now the fears and the doubt can go down
Contagious all over the town

And everybody's journey is their own
Haffi take the lead and no fall out
Now it's time to get up from the ground
Got to find the strength and no stall out

And everybody's journey is their own
Haffi take the lead and no fall out
Now it's time to get up from the ground

Ladies and gentlemen, this is none other than, Milky Chance
It's telling me why, eh eh, am I always sealing their own sick to they
Stuck in the places where I just gotta stay and I'm
Trying, eh eh, trying to feel the same
I'm trying to maintain and
Oh oh darling just keep on the lane and
Trying, eh eh, trying to feel the same
I'm trying to maintain and
Oh oh darling just keep on the lane and

And everybody's journey is their own
Haffi take the lead and no fall out
Now it's time to get up from the ground

And everybody's journey is their own
Haffi take the lead and no fall out
Get up from the ground (This is Phil on the guitar)

I'm very very happy to do this song with this artist, you know, and
I'm a big fan of his music and I love his spirit and,
Please, put your hands together for none other than Ky-Mani Marley
Yes, once again I really appreciate that you made it, you know




Love, love, couldn't give up the opportunity
Oh God!

You love life but you can't find a key to it's store
Where is the smile up on your face?

And you trying not to see the mess around you
But everywhere you turn it seems to outbound you
In the mix-up with the demoms them surround you
There is nothing they can do to stop the love that has found you
Now the light and the truth can go around

Now the fears and the doubts will go down
Contagious all over the town
And everybody's journey is their own
If i take a lead and no fallout
Now it's time to get up from the ground
Got to have the strength and no stall out
Take the invitation to trouble your soul
Sick of navigation until you find out your own
It might be uncomfortable go ahead and be a rebel
On your hours feel yourself miserable
Now is the time to live life before you go old
There is a fire inside you don't make it go cold
And now we can find ways again
To keep things under control
Straight forward no waste time again
Movements got stone after all
The torch and the light and the flame
The goodness in you to unchain
No more you are livin in vain
Turn another page it won't be the same no
And everybody's journey is their own
If i take a lead and no fallout
Now it's time to get up from the ground
Got to have the strength and no stall out
