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
