Packed my bags and kissed your cheek
turned around so I didn't see
you cry,
you cry
sometimes you just can't explain
the reasons why you have to say
goodbye,
goodbye
It took something, it took falling,
it took distance, it took time,
it took a lot of getting lost to realize
I was already home,
right where I was supposed to be
You were right in front of me
I was not alone
I was already home,
sometimes you're too close to see
the one thing that you really need
has been there all along
it took leaving you to know,
I was already home
It took a long long road to see,
what matters most in life to me
was gone was gone
but I thought what I was looking for
was right here waiting at your door
I was wrong, so wrong
It took tumbling, it took falling,
it took distance, it took time,
it took a lot of getting lost to realize
I was already home,
right where I was supposed to be
You were right in front of me
I was not alone
I was already home,
sometimes you're too close to see
the one thing that you really need
has been there all along
it took leaving you to know,
I was so caught up in the thrill of something
different something new,
it took a lot of missing you to see the truth
I was already home,
right where I was supposed to be
You were right in front of me
I was not alone
I was already home,
sometimes you're too close to see
the one thing that you really need
has been there all along
it took leaving you to know,
I was already home
I was already home
