When Away From Home

Verse 1: Have you loved someone so much you would give your life up
Not a figure of speech, no, really give your life up
When you know deep down inside, you'd give everything you have
And the moment when something goes wrong
and you must protect everything you have
In the moment, have you had a love one give up on you
But you'd do everything in your life to her she'd live up to you
What happens when a person becomes the source of a pain
"Hey, look what I got!" I'm sorry I gotta catch a plane
"Where's my friend? I can't find my friend, where is she?"
I don't know, but you can tell me what you want from me
"I want to tell her I want to be more than friends"
That's a hard time to get the courage to say that
To someone you really care about that you'd give your love to
When you don't know how that friend is going to say to you
When you feel lovesick and you can't take it
I'm crazy, but right now Peter can talk and make it
(Official)

Chorus(2x): When Away From Home, don't you cry
Acknowledge the fact that I have loved you since I
Knew you from grade school and times you showed me kindness
And as I reppin this song, baby, I'm in love calling you my highness

Verse 2: I keep having a dream, as I'm trying to sleep
I'm see her visiting home from college in Germany
Trying to find the words to say that I love her
And my mom doesn't want to say that to her
Why, mom? Why are you doing this to me?
"Son, it's not time yet, see?"
I see it, mom, but you don't know what I'm going through
Cos since she's been gone I've been lovesick too
I know God has a plan, and I think that plan is coming into effect now
And not trying to be rude, but why don't you re-check the facts now
This has been in my head for the past four months
And I never got the address to write to her
If you don't understand, fine, I'm quitting school to fly to her
"Peter, wait--" it's too late, mom, I'm flying out to Germany
I don't care if I fly more to get to her she
Misses me and I know she wants to see me there
Trust me, mom, I gotta get to her there and I'm thinking here

Chorus(2x): When Away From Home, don't you cry
Acknowledge the fact that I have loved you since I
Knew you from grade school and times you showed me kindness
And as I reppin this song, baby, I'm in love calling you my highness

Verse 3: I landed in Europe, now I gotta find out how to get there
There's a train and it's going to Germany
I need to get on there! Okay I'm here
That's step 2 done, now I gotta look for her apartment number here
I think I found it, then, I knock three times and out comes Nikoline
But she tells me Cheyenne isn't home
I asked her if she can give her a message she said yes and I said "Tell her I've been gone
All the way From Florida to Germany to see her--"
But then I see her, but out of the car comes a boyfriend
Yeah, I think that's who he is
Because I see him kiss her goodbye I'm in shock
I thought this was plan you've had for me, God!
You knew what my plan was, and it failed
Nothing is worse than seeing one of my best friends with a date it'll
Be the end of me,
But how can this be?
The world is closing around me!
As I try to get out
I find a gun, pull the hammer back
Put it to my head in tears screaming F this life and then blast
But then, I wake up to see my family talking with people
But the flight never had happened
I never went to Europe too
Never cried saying boohoo
But I find Cheyenne visiting and I come up to her and hug her
Tell her I loved her
Then Jullian winks at his older sibling
As if he was saying...

Chorus(2x): When Away From Home, don't you cry
Acknowledge the fact that I have loved you since I
Knew you from grade school and times you showed me kindness
And as I reppin this song, baby, I'm in love calling you my highness
