I never thought I'd be the one
To wind up being homesick
Just another part of me I feel I need to fix
It's not that I'm broken
I just heard the words were spoken
Now they're running through my mind
Going 66
The days are getting colder
As I watch you both get older
My foundation is reducing
To a pile of bricks
But I wont take you for granted
All your roots in me are planted
Stubborn and loving it seems like a good mix

I'm not the only one that moved away
I'm not the only one who feels this way
What's there to say
I've burned down the last of my candlewick
It's hard for me to admit but I know I'm homesick

I'm hoping for an encore
I know that I can't have more
Sadly it's just something
We all have to agree
I say this impolitely
But I know what I think nightly
It's not the way that I know
I can get a guarantee
These words are not for show
You taught me everything I know
You did your best to imprint on me
Surreptitiously
The day will come too soon
I won't be able to attune
What if I don't get to say you made me me

I'm not the only one that moved away
I'm not the only one who feels this way
What's there to say
I've burned down the last of my candlewick
It's hard for me to admit but I know I'm homesick
