Homesick
J-Spliff Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You look so peaceful in our bed
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
When I didn't have to go
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 6AM
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 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
when 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 6AM
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 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 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 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 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 asleep in our bed brings me peace


I didn't wanna wake you when I left
I didn't want to disturb your sleep when I left to catch my plane


And I'll be trailing through the sky
I'll be flying through the sky


Just another silhouette up high
Just another figure in the sky


Before you wake
Before you wake up


You tell me that you had that dream again
You tell me about the recurring dream you had


When I didn't have to go
When I didn't have to leave


I wish that we could live inside your head
I wish we could live in your dream world


And when I'm homesick
And when I miss home


I got you on my home screen
I have you on my phone screen


So anywhere I'm going
So wherever I am


I know that you'll be with me
I know you'll be with me in spirit


Until I hold you, darling
Until I can hold you in my arms
