[Verse 1]
I never told you all my feelings (Feelings)
We used to end the night in tears, not knowing what we had
And now I'm staring at the ceiling (Ceiling)
'Cause it's too quiet, I'd give anything to go right back to

[Pre-Chorus]
Fighting over getting older
Holding you on rollercoasters
You had the whole world on your shoulders
And I just wanna know

[Chorus]
Why does it take distance for me to find the things I'm missing?
They say tell them how you feel before you leave, I wish I listened
There's a thousand miles between us, but I've never felt so close
I wish that I could fly to see you, but for now, I hope you know I'm missin' home
(Now I hope you know I'm missin')

[Verse 2]
I'd see you dancin' in the kitchen
I used to slam the door, now I just wanna hear you laugh
It's gone by far, you know it, that all those days were golden
Now it's too quiet, I'd lose everything to go right back to

[Pre-Chorus]
Driving with you through Nevada
The different ways you said "I love ya"
I'm crying, missing California
And I just wanna know, mm-mm
[Chorus]
Why does it take distance for me to find the things I'm missing?
They say tell them how you feel before you leave, I wish I listened
There's a thousand miles between us, but I've never felt so close
Wish that I could fly to see you, but for now, I hope you know I'm missin' home

[Post-Chorus]
Home
Now I hope you know I'm missin' home (Ah-ah-ah)
Now I hope you know I'm missin'

[Bridge]
[?] close enough to hurt ya
The different ways you said "I love ya"
The memories that I still [?]
And I just wanna know, mm-mm

[Chorus]
Why does it take distance for me to find the things I'm missing?
They say tell them how you feel before you leave, I wish I listened
All the time that passed us by is gone the second that you're with me
'Cause no matter where you are, when we're together, I remember you're my home
