Used to make paper airplanes
And throw them out into the yard
Made a wish before they fell down
Maybe my dreams were too large
'Cause now I feel so small
In this great big city all alone, oh
Now I seem so far from everything I know
Too busy paying my bills
To pay attention to my feelings
And I'm too caught up in my head
To call my friends I haven't seen in a while
It's been a year since I've been home
My momma's only getting older
I want to stop and smell the air
I'm over wishing I was somewhere else
Than where I am right here
So many things I took for granted
A few "I love you's" left unsaid
A see you soon turned into what meant
Never seeing you again
And now I feel so small
In this great big city on my own, oh
And now I seem so far from all the things I miss the most
Too busy paying my bills
To pay attention to my feelings
And I'm too caught up in my head
To call my friends I haven't seen in a while
It's been a year since I've been home
My momma's only getting older
I want to stop and smell the air
I'm over wishing I was somewhere else
Than where I am right here
Ooh, where I am right here
Oh oh, where I am right here
Oh oh, where I am
Too busy paying my bills
To pay attention to my feelings
And I'm too caught up in my head
To call my friends I haven't seen in a while
It's been a year since I've been home
My momma's only getting older
I want to stop and smell the air
I'm over wishing I was somewhere else
Than where I am right here
