Ilse DeLange - Homesick

You say you broke down into a million pieces
Walking our hometown, those empty places
Streets that we used to play, before we both moved away, one day
Back then the whole world was wide and open
We had the wildest dreams that kept us hoping
No matter what you choose, there's always something you lose, someday

The further and further you go, the stronger the pull
You run and you run, do you know why you're running at all?

When you're homesick, maybe you've forgotten where your home is
Sometimes we all get lost and we don't notice
Someone's right here for you
When you're homesick, just don't ever think that you're the only
One who's gotten good at never showing that they're lonely
Yeah, I know how it feels when you're homesick

The sand in your hand, it slowly slips away
Remember old friends like it was yesterday
You can turn back the time, so you see that it's fine, it's fine The further and further you go, the stronger the pull
You run and you run, do you know why you're running at all?

When you're homesick, maybe you've forgotten where your home is
Sometimes we all get lost and we don't notice
Someone's right here for you
When you're homesick, just don't ever think that you're the only
One who's gotten good at never showing that they're lonely
Yeah, I know how it feels when you're homesick

Are you a stranger to yourself?
Wondering where you're from, wondering who you are
Who ever thought your hungry heart would pull you back this way
Right back to the start

When you're homesick, maybe you've forgotten where your home is
Sometimes we all get lost and we don't notice
Someone's right here for you
When you're homesick, just don't ever think that you're the only
One who's gotten good at never showing that they're lonely
Yeah, I know how it feels when you're homesick
When you're homesick
When you're homesick

When you're homesick
