Homesick
Lou Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know its for the best
And it might not feel like it yet
I just need some rest
It's so hard to sleep when in your head
Is thoughts of doubt and insecurity
Am I enough or is this just hurting me
Maybe I'm obsessed
With if anyone as even
Heard of me yet

Really hoping I don't waste my time
But I just need to find something
That I'll leave behind
They won't care about my nine to five
There's so much I got to do
Before the day I die

Homesick but sick of my home
Crowded streets but no one I know
Ooo shit
I'm home sick
Homesick but sick of my home
Packed up everything that I own
Ooo shit
I'm home sick

My mum always said
Your life has no limitations
Cuz your the best
And never lower expectations
Have no doubts show insecurity
You're enough love your impurities
Maybe too obsessed
Shouldn't care if no one else has
Heard of me yet

Really hoping I don't waste my time
But I just need to find something
That I'll leave behind
They won't care about my nine to five
There's so much I got to do
Before the day I die

Homesick but sick of my home
Crowded streets but no one I know
Ooo shit
I'm home sick
Homesick but sick of my home
Packed up everything that I own
Ooo shit
I'm home sick

I'm pushing and pulling and I can't decide
If every decision I'm making is right
I'm looking forward and then in my eye
I catch a demon on enemy lines
You'll never make it You'll never survive
You do not know me I know that I might
I'll take my chances its that or I die
Maybe they right I got to try
When your young they say
Go be what you wanna be
No one said my dreams would
Go and Mess with my phycology
I Could had a warning
But Now I want an apology
I know I believe in me
And I can say that honestly

Homesick but sick of my home
Crowded streets but no one I know
Ooo shit
I'm home sick
Homesick but sick of my home
Packed up everything that I own




Ooo shit
I'm home sick
