The more I feel this love the harder it is to be away I don't know how you did it, did it for a single day I'm starting to shut down with no friends around Got no memories of this town, feel more lost than found Everything inside of me longs to quit It's only been a week now And I'm already homesick This room is so empty, unlike my head Filled with the laughter that now seems so dead You said it's not good for man to be alone I never understood it before, if only I'd of known Well I want to get out of here and I want to get out of here quick It's only been a week now And I'm already homesick This place is a desert even with the rain I don't know why you made us able to feel this much pain My little boy, he just turned two He wants to wrestle with me, I want to wrestle too But he can't see me; It's like some cruel trick It's only been a week now And I'm already homesick I've been thinking about your smile and it leads me to your eyes Then I hear your voice and it makes me want to cry I can't behold the beauty that's there And it rips at my heart; I can't even voice a prayer And no matter how much I will it, the clock slowly ticks It's only been a week now And I'm already homesick I've been thinking about my father and what he endured All those long nights sleeping without her I've been thinking about the Son and what he chose to leave To die as a stranger for some who would never believe The candle's still burning, but the room won't stay lit It's only been a week now And I'm already homesick Everything I've run after disappears when I arrive Down here we live in the shadows, I'll see home when I die God I need to feel you, if not just for a little bit I'm only twenty-three And I'm already homesick
