homesick in love
even when she's there it can be bittersweet
homesick and trying to reach
out of reach
in under the wallpaper and out of reach
and our apartment is marked
by a former resident, yes he or she
who carved two pairs of initials
into a model of a childhood town
handmade from memory
it covers most of the floors
so in the morning I
have to watch out where I step
I navigate carefully
and end up brushing my teeth
on a hill in between
the supermarket and the fields that reach
out of reach
in under the wallpaper
and out of reach
out of reach
out of reach
out of reach
if I were a field and saw her in the passenger seat
of a passing car
I would wave my straws
I would wave my straws
I would wave my straws
I would wave my straws
I can make a model of my own
try to show my heart in it and she can look in and see
how I screw up the proportions
build dead end streets no
I've never been all that practical but it's hard to be
when you're homesick like me
homesick in love
homesick in love
homesick in love
homesick in love
