Homesick captures the poignant emotions of missing home and loved ones while living abroad. The lyrics reflect on the passage of time, marked by cherished experiences and the realisation of growing older far from familiar surroundings. The first verse speaks of valuable memories and personal growth, while the second verse conveys the longing felt when looking at photos of loved ones back home, who continue to age and change.
The chorus underscores the introspective journey of sifting through memories and recognising what truly matters. The song, conceived during a flight from Copenhagen to Barcelona, embodies the bittersweet nature of distance and the constant questioning of its worth.
