about

This song almost didn’t get written because these emotions were tough to let surface 🥺 We all know what it’s like to be separated from loved ones, and how strange it is to actually get used to that feeling. Now I’m back in Canada with my family and friends for the first time in almost 2 years and it’s like the story behind the song has come full circle and I’m so thankful 🙏 Sending love to anyone out there who’s missing someone 💛 Really hope you guys enjoy this.

lyrics

I’ll be right there
Catch a flight and
Stay the night there
Wouldn’t it be nice if we could say
In a couple days we’ll
Be together like we never
Had to try so hard to remember
The simplicity of how things used to be

Don’t wanna celebrate another birthday on the phone and
Don’t ask when I’ll be home cause I don’t know

I’m too used to missing people that I love
I’m so used to life without them that we just don’t bring it up
It hurts to think how long it's been since I gave them a hug
It’s a familiar feeling, and I’m tired of being so
Used to missing people that I love

Now I envy
How the old me
Had it easy
Go to parties dancing in the street
It’s all so out of reach
Now I wanna be sat around your table
Singing songs and I can play all of your favourites
Say how long it’s beenI will soak it in

And we can celebrate the little things we took for granted
We didn’t know how good it was until we didn’t have it

I’m too used to missing people that I love
I’m so used to life without them that we just don’t bring it up
It hurts to think how long it's been since I gave them a hug
It’s a familiar feeling, and I’m tired of being so
Used to missing people that I love

We're only getting older
And I just wanna hold ya
I hope it won't be long
Till I'm in your arms

I'm too used to missing people that I love
I’m so used to life without them that we just don’t bring it up
It hurts to think how long it's been since I gave them a hug
It’s such a familiar feeling, and I’m tired of being so
Used to missing people that I love
