Homesick in the Laundry Aisle

“Standing in the soap aisle, missing everything about home. It's the quietest we get.”

Lyrics

Far from home in a supermarket
Staring at a box of soap
It smells exactly like my mom's old kitchen
And I'm choking up, no hope

Lady asks me if I'm okay
I say it's the lavender, honest
She hands me a tissue and a coupon
Says you'll be fine, you're so far from home

Homesick in the laundry aisle
Holding soap and starting to smile
Homesick in the laundry aisle
Home is where I'll be after a while
Call my mom tonight, say hello
Homesick in the laundry aisle

Bought the soap and I bought two
One for me, one to send to you
Wrapped it up with a note that said
Smells like home, miss you, go to bed

Whoa-oh, I miss you
Whoa-oh, I miss you

Homesick in the laundry aisle
Holding soap and starting to smile
Homesick in the laundry aisle
Home is where I'll be after a while
Call my mom tonight, say hello
Homesick in the laundry aisle

It's only soap, it's only air
But home is everywhere
In a smell, in a song
Where I belong

Homesick in the laundry aisle
Holding soap and starting to smile
Homesick in the laundry aisle
Home is where I'll be after a while
Call my mom tonight, say hello
Homesick in the laundry aisle

Lavender, lavender
Call my mom tonight
