about

Written when I was in Italy with my family. I was away from home quite a bit when I was young. Although vacationing is a nice privilege it made it pretty hard for me to forge lasting friendships at that age. (9/12/21)

lyrics

(Chorus)
It wouldn't be a vacation if I didn't miss somebody back at home
It wouldn't be a vacation if I didn't feel like I was all alone
But I always feel alone
When I am not at home
I don't want you to know
That I'm lonely

It wouldn't be a vacation in the sun
Without missing everyone
Who doesn't care that you're not there
It wouldn't be a vacation all year long
Without feeling something's wrong
With the paradise you found

But when you call me and tell me about your newfound friends
It's hard to think about ever coming home again

(Chorus)

It wouldn't be a vacation without you
So where have you gone to?
I think I lost you on the way
It wouldn't be a vacation without love
So who are you thinking of?
I have a feeling it's not me

You never said you'd forget me the second that I left
Why do I pay every time I try to catch my breath?

(Chorus)
So I guess you always will
