To Your Grave
Ingram Hill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stare at the phone, and I wait
Daylight creeps in, through the blinds
Strong as I've been, well I was lyin'
But now I've lost control
It's hard but I've found my soul
Stare at the phone, short of breath
Search for your face, through the blinds
Said I'm ok, well I was lyin'
But now I've lost control
It's hard but I've found my soul
Don't need you anymore
Much better on my own
Because I've tried
To stay alive
Let me lie
This is the last I'll say goodbye
Same as before, I'm to blame
Forever yours, I'll remain
You'll feel my love and my embrace
Take it along to your grave
Well hey, my love, you'll know the shape I made when you
Feel my love and my pain, 'cause I'll be there
When you try
To stay alive
Well don't you cry
But this is the last we'll say Goodbye
Goodbye
The lyrics to Ingram Hill's song To Your Grave describe a person staring at their phone, waiting for someone who left them to come back. The beginning of the song suggests that the person is trying to let go of their feelings and move on, however, they eventually lose control and realize they still love the other person. The repetition of the phrase "minutes 'till dawn" creates a sense of urgency and the person's internal struggle with their emotions. The lyrics, "Much better on my own" implies that the person is trying to convince themselves that they do not need the other person. However, by the end of the song, the lyrics suggest that the person knows they will never be able to completely let go of their love for the other person and will always remain forever theirs.
The lyrics of To Your Grave are very emotional and capture the rollercoaster of feelings that often come with heartbreak.
