Homesick
Merton Alice Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I was scared of dogs and the weather
Never went on a field-trip
Scared I'd lose my mother and father
I was the new kid
Didn't understand what's going on
But I tried my best to fit in
Started puttin' it in a song
No, I don't get homesick
But I'm sick when I'm without you
And I don't feel lonely
I just wanna be alone with you
And I said I'd never write a love song
'Cause they always end
But you caught me off guard
And I found a home again
No, I don't get homesick
No, I don't feel lonely
I was the new kid
I liked to wear the same shirts again
They reminded me where I've been
All the places I've left my brothers
I was the new kid
I never understood what's going on
And I didn't have to talk
So I put it in a song
No, I don't get homesick
But I'm sick when I'm without you
And I don't feel lonely
I just wanna be alone with you
And I said I'd never write a love song
'Cause they always end
But you caught me off guard
And I found a home again
I don't feel alone
I don't feel alone
I don't feel alone-lone-lone-lone-lone-lone-lone-lone-lone
I don't feel alone-lone-lone-lone-lone-lone-lone-lone-lone
Well, I was the new kind
I was scared of dogs and the weather
Never went on a field-trip
Scared I'd lose my mother and father
I was the new kind
Didn't understand what's going on
But I tried my best to fit in
Started puttin' in a song
No, I don't get homesick
But I'm sick when I'm without you
And I don't feel lonely
I just wanna be alone with you
And I said I'd never write a love song
'Cause they always end
But you caught me off guard
And I found a home again
No, I don't get homesick
No I don't, no I don't, no I don't, no I don't
And I don't feel lonely
I just wanna be alone with you
I don't feel alone-lone-lone-lone-lone-lone-lone-lone-lone
(I don't feel, I don't feel, don't feel alone)
I don't feel alone-lone-lone-lone-lone-lone-lone-lone-lone
I don't feel alone
