homesickness Lyrics Meanings
by Lderwood

We'd crash our bikes and call it a derby
You'd think we were eight but in fact we were fourteen
Back in high school when the kids were so mean
Until I grew my hair out, I think I was sixteen
My newly gained confidence from being so scene
Updating myspace on a crt screen
Hanging out with some kids who were sketchy
Feeling like I was exactly where I'm supposed to be

What changed? Is it me who is so slow paced?
The years creeping up, suddenly pushing thirty
By now I had thought that I'd be pushing daisies
It's homesickness but I don't know where home is
Homeward bound is hard when you're aimless

I saw it being carried away from my childhood home
Box by box, all that I was
A waste of space, an old grey case
No familiar face, I feel out of place
My youth boxed up, dispose of me, straight to lost and found
Sometimes I feel less lonely when no one's around
Thinking back to those days with our bikes on the ground
Why did we feel so proud?

What changed? Is it me who is so slow paced?
The years creeping up, suddenly pushing thirty
By now I had thought that I'd be pushing daisies
It's homesickness but I don't know where home is
Homeward bound is hard when you're aimless
