Homesick
Ryan Kickland Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Carry me back home,
Where I belong.
Carry me back home,
Where I come from.

Carry me back home,
Where I belong.
Where I come from,
Carry me back home.

Where I am now,
I dont know a soul.
Where I am now,
I dont know where to go.
Where I am now,
I dont know a soul.
I dont know where to go,

Where I am now.
(Chill)
Carry me back home,
Where I belong.
Carry me back home,
Where I come from.
Carry me back home,
Where I belong.




Where I come from,
Carry me back home.
