The breaths feel different by the miles, brother
Please don't move till you're of age
Your heart will be scattered
One place will never make you feel again

It happened to me like it was destined to be
Hard to swallow the thought of accepting
My fate, that I've grown to hate

At the age of 8 I discovered I'll never be home again
Parts of my world scattered all over the place
Fulfillment isn't a feeling I know well
There will always be a part of me at sea my dear
Don't take it personally

The sad truth of a foreign kid my friend
Two homes I have no bed made in
I'll be sleeping in the damp tonight
I've been sleeping with dampened eyes for some time

My family are dear to me but they're all over the globe
I'll never have one set in stone home
So I'll create one, of my own
One of my own

Well it happened to me like it was destined to be
Part of me will always be at sea
I'll be sleeping in the damp tonight
I've been sleeping with dampened eyes for some time
I've caught the upper hand a few times, my whole like

The breaths feel different by the miles, brother
Please don't move till you're of age
Your heart will the scattered
One place will never make you feel whole again
