I get a little homesick sometimes
I wish it was the kind of sickness that had a quick solution
Or a solution at all
Some kind of metaphorical medicine that makes a dull ache go away
I know what the cure for this homesickness is
It's driving down that road that isn't there anymore
It's your sister's cat that always greets you at the front door
It's those late night adventures in that car, windows down, fresh nighttime air and moonlight
It's coming home to a door that isn't the same design anymore
To a house that is full of the same people but those people are not there anymore
A living room that's not set up the same as before
It's the same meals that are cooked and prepared in a kitchen that isn't the same
A life that doesn't exist anymore
I get a little homesick sometimes
I know what the cure for this homesickness is
It's a family holiday get together but most of the important people are not by your side
It's the possible maybe big news that you can't share
It's having everyone you care for and love in your fathers big living room
Only to find yourself alone
It's the day you wish you could erase from everyone's mind
To just go back to normal
The cure to this homesickness does not exist
It never will
It's just all in my head
