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 already home
i was so caught up in the thrill of
something different something
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
it took leaving you to know
i was already home
i was already home
