I'm waking up my mind
I'm just trying to kill the silence
I'm ripping off the blinds
I'm just trying to let some light in

But I've been on the road
I've been missing home
See it on my phone
Let the world back home
keep spinning round without me

I'm waking up my mind
I'm ripping off the blinds

Oh I
Try to be happy but it's hard sometimes
But life just seems to happen
right before my eyes
Cause I feel like I'm not there
Cause my head is up somewhere
Far away from all my friends
I just want that back again

Oh I
Try to be happy but it's hard sometimes
It's hard sometimes

When I come off cold
I'm not doing it on purpose
You caught me in a hole
That I dig for myself when I'm nervous

I've been on the road
I've been missing home
See it on my phone
But my friends back there
got inside jokes without me

Don't mean to come off cold
I don't want to be alone

Oh I
Try to be happy but it's hard sometimes
But life just seems to happen
right before my eyes

Cause I feel like I'm not there
Cause my head is up somewhere
Far away from all my friends
I just want that back again

Oh I
Try to be happy but it's hard sometimes

I don't feel like myself and
I can't help being selfish
Sometimes the pressure gets the best of me

Oh I
Oh I
Oh I
Try to be happy but it's hard sometimes
But life
Just seems to happen
It's just passing by

Oh
Cause I feel like I'm not there
Cause my head is up somewhere
Far away from all my friends
I just want that back again
Oh I
Try to be happy but it's hard sometimes

Cause it's hard sometimes
