I'm homesick

For somewhere that doesn't exist

For someone I'm still learning to miss

It's like you've been replaced

By home video tapes.

Sun goes up, then the sun goes down

Then your shadow gets longer on the ground

Then it's all for what 'cause you're not around

But I still hope I make you proud.

Oh, I'm running after something, trying to catch your ghost

Holding onto pictures and the smell of your clothes

Feel you slipping through my fingers

And I know I'll never reach you

But you're part of me, I can't let you go

So I just keep on chasing shadows of you, of you

Chasing shadows of you.

I'm homesick

For conversations I would avoid

And now I miss the sound of your voice

It's like you've been replaced

By a tattoo of your name.

Sun goes up then the sun goes down

Then your shadow gets longer on the ground

Then it's all for what 'cause you're not around

But I still feel you here somehow.

Oh, I'm running after something, trying to catch your ghost

Holding onto pictures and the smell of your clothes

Feel you slipping through my fingers

And I know I'll never reach you

But you're part of me, I can't let you go

So I just keep on chasing shadows of you, of you, ooh-ooh, ooh...

Chasing shadows of you, of you, you.

Said goodbye, wasn't ready yet

Only see you in this silhouette

Now there's nothing but a shadow left

Of you, you, you

So I'll just keep on chasing shadows of you, of you.
