(Verse 1 —soft, close-mic)
There’s a place that I can feel but I can’t touch,
Like a whisper in the dark that knows too much.
I’ve been walking with a shadow I don’t recognize,
But it’s pulling on the strings behind my eyes.
(Pre-Chorus — hushed, eerie)
And I swear it calls my name,
Though I don’t know what it is—
Feels like something I remember,
From a life I never lived.
(Chorus -style big, cracked, emotional)
’Cause I’m homesick for nowhere,
For a place I can’t find.
For a heartbeat that echoes
Like it used to be mine.
And it hurts like a memory
I never had at all—
Yeah, I’m homesick for somewhere
That never picked up when I called.
(Verse 2 — minimal, bittersweet)
There’s a window with the curtains barely drawn,
And a sunrise I’ve been missing for too long.
I can hear the kind of laughter that I used to fake,
Somehow coming from a future I can’t trace.
(Pre-Chorus — soft, floating harmonies)
And it’s carved into my bones,
This impossible goodbye—
To a home that I belong to,
But I still don’t know why.
(Chorus — power but breaking at the edges)
I’m homesick for nowhere,
For a place I can’t find.
For a heartbeat that echoes
Like it used to be mine.
And it hurts like a memory
I never had at all—
Yeah, I’m homesick for somewhere
That never picked up when I called.
(Bridge —soft beginning → slow swell)
Maybe I’m chasing a ghost,
Maybe it’s chasing me back.
Maybe I’m lost in the space
Between the things that I lack.
But someday I’ll stumble into it,
Like I’ve always been known—
And I’ll finally stop feeling
So far from home.
(Final Chorus — big, emotional, then drop to whisper)
I’m homesick for nowhere,
For a place in my mind.
For a story that ended
Before it ever arrived.
And I’ll keep on searching,
Till I know where I belong—
(tender whisper)
’Cause I’ve been homesick forever…
For a home I’ve never known.
