Escape the Stake - Chronic Homesickness

Another coughing fit is keeping me awake again
I'm pinned to the mattress in a town that never changes
And I want to leave but I'm scared I'll miss it if I do
'Cause I never know when home is home, only realize when I go somewhere new
I've got chronic homesickness
I don't even know where my home is
Will you stay by my side 'til the fever lifts?
Home is never where I am, it's always where I've been
And I know if I can settle down
I don't even know where I'd want to live
And this uncertainty is gonna make me lose my mind
I can't stay caged up like a rabbit, there's always some new field to find
I've got chronic homesickness
I don't even know where my home is
Will you stay by my side 'til the fever lifts?
If I've got a wandering soul, does that mean I've gotta be lonely too?
I don't have the energy to leave you and then go find someone new
I'd rather be alone 'cause I know no one's gonna stay right by my side
For forever, or at least until the day we die
I've got chronic homesickness
I don't even know where my home is
Will you stay by my side 'til the fever lifts?
I'll find a home in everyone who smiles at me
In the basement at a punk show or in every other beautiful thing
In holding hands and drinking wine and raising voices to the sky
In late sunsets and maybe even in your eyes
I've got chronic homesickness
I don't even know where my home is
I've got chronic homesickness
Will you stay by my side 'til the fever lifts?
