On May 2nd 2015 my friend Ryan McHenry passed away after a long and courageous battle against a rare form of cancer, osteosarcoma. He was one of the most energetic, creative, and compassionate friends I ever met, and to lose him was devastating.

lyrics

I'm feeling farther from my home than I've felt for quite some time
And I feel it even more tonight

Cause really there's no easy way to ever say goodbye
When you're so young you feel like time is always on your side

I wish I could go home
I wish it was that easy
I wish I could go home
So I could say goodbye

I pulled out all the pictures from the boxes in my room
Now I'm wishing there were more of you

And there's not much that anyone can say to take away the pain
I guess you learn to let it go again

I wish I could go home
I wish it was that easy
I wish I could go home
And sleep beneath the stars

I wish I could go home
But wishes never made me fly
I wish I could go home
So I could say goodbye
