Every now and then I think about how far I’ve gone
Was it wise inspiration or was I just completely dumb?
I did not think / ‘bout / how / hard it could be to be far
Feelings of lost / times / sad / hearts, these can tear you apart
So why don’t I feel like I am away from home?
One day I woke up and that feeling was gone
How can it feel right to be so far from home?
I had to move on and I made this place my own.
Feelings were mixed over there, some people could not get it
Did I not like my country, my people, or maybe it wasn’t the right fit.
How could I give / up / all / this without looking back?
I still keep in / touch / make / up what I sometimes lack
So why don’t I feel like I am away from home?
One day I woke up and that feeling was gone
How can it feel right to be so far from home?
I had to move on and I made this place my own.
Expanding identity
I didn’t lose anything, I just added a couple of things
I’ve become some kind f hybrid, having two different ways
Please don’t ask me to pick on, both can work together
I can stay
So far away
