Homesick by Alice Merton – a TCK song

HOMESICK LYRICS:

I was the new kid
I was scared of dogs and the weather
Never went on a field trip
Scared I’d lose my mother and father

I was the new kid
Didn’t understand what’s going on
But I tried my best to fit in
Started putting it in a song

No I don’t get homesick
But I’m sick when I’m without you
And I don’t feel lonely
I just wanna be alone with you

And I said I’d never write a love song
Because they always end
But you caught me off guard
And I found a home again

No I don’t get homesick
No I don’t feel lonely

I was the new kid
I like to wear the same shirts again
It reminded me where I’ve been
All the places I’ve left my brothers

I was the new kid
I never understood what’s going on
And I didn’t know how to talk
So I put it in a song

No I don’t get homesick
But I’m sick when I’m without you
And I don’t feel lonely
I just wanna be alone with you

And I said I’d never write a love song
Because they always end
But you caught me off guard
And I found a home again

I don’t feel alone
I don’t feel alone
I don’t feel alone
I don’t feel alone

I was the new kid
I was scared of dogs and the weather
Never went on a fieldtrip
Scared I’d lose my mother and father

I was the new kid
Didn’t understand what’s going on
But I tried my best to fit in
Started putting it in a song

No I don’t get homesick
But I’m sick when I’m without you
And I don’t feel lonely
I just wanna be alone with you

And I said I’d never write a love song
‘Cause they always end
But you caught me off guard
And I found a home again

No I don’t get homesick
No I don’t, no I don’t, no I don’t, no I don’t
And I don’t feel lonely
I just wanna be alone with you

I don’t feel alone
I don’t feel alone
I don’t feel alone

No Roots – Alice Merton

Alice Merton - No Roots

by Alice Merton

Verse One

I like digging holes and hiding things inside them
When I’ll grow old, I hope I won’t forget to find them
‘Cause I’ve got memories and travel like gypsies in the night


I build a home and wait for someone to tear it down
Then pack it up in boxes, head for the next town running
‘Cause I’ve got memories and travel like gypsies in the night

And a thousand times I’ve seen this road
A thousand times

Chorus

I’ve got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I’ve got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I’ve got no roots uh uh uh uh
I’ve got no roots uh uh uh uh

I’ve got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I’ve got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I’ve got no roots uh uh uh uh
I’ve got no roots uh uh uh uh


Verse Two

I like standing still, but that’s just a wishful plan
Ask me where I come from, I’ll say a different land
But I’ve got memories and travel like gypsies in the night

I count gates and numbers, then play the guessing game
It’s just the place that changes, the rest is still the same
But I’ve got memories and travel like gypsies in the night

And a thousand times I’ve seen this road
A thousand times

Chorus

I’ve got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I’ve got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I’ve got no roots uh uh uh uh
I’ve got no roots uh uh uh uh

I’ve got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I’ve got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I’ve got no roots uh uh uh uh
I’ve got no roots uh uh uh uh

Ending

I like digging holes
Hiding things inside them
When I’ll grow old
I won’t forget to find them


I like digging holes
Hiding things inside them
When I’ll grow old
I won’t forget to find them

I’ve got no roots
No roots

I’ve got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I’ve got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I’ve got no roots uh uh uh uh
I’ve got no roots uh uh uh uh

I’ve got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I’ve got no roots, but my home was never on the ground
I’ve got no roots uh uh uh uh
I’ve got no roots uh uh uh uh
