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 [bad word] 
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
