Will I Ever Make It Home
Ingram Hill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From the words that I heard I had no choice
They told me I had to turn around
My assurance slowly faded down
And I wonder
Will I ever make it home
Will I ever leave the ground
The plans that I had were quickly destroyed
The problem was one I couldn't avoid
They welcomed me to stay overnight
I'm too tired to complain so i just might
And I wonder
Will I ever make it home
To the place I recognize
Far from here and where I've been
And all the places that I've been shown
Will I ever make it home
Can they keep me here for good
Where I hardly know a soul
And my fear keeps going on
My weariness keeps growing inside
My patience is tarting to subside
And I hope I'll be there soon
It can't be long or I'll fall through
Will I ever make it home
Will I ever leave the ground
Leave this place so far behind
Till ther eis no turning back
Will I ever make it home
Get to where I want to be
Find the ones who wait for me
To the place where I belong
Will I ever make it home

He initially feels uncertain and doubtful about whether he can make it back to where he's coming from, considering the loss of his confidence and assurance.
The song goes on to analyze the disappointment that comes with things not going according to our plan. The singer faces an obstacle he couldn't avoid, which ended up crumbling his plans, and leads him to an overnight stay in an unknown place. He is somewhat okay with it, indicating some resilience that he's picked up from the way of life. However, a part of him still questions whether or not he can ever make it back to the place he can recognize as his own. He's filled with concerns and fears about not getting back to where he belongs, and those thoughts start to take a toll on him.

I woke up from my sleep to the sound of that voice
I suddenly woke up to a commanding voice that demanded my attention
From the words that I heard I had no choice
The words spoken to me left me with no option but to obey
They told me I had to turn around
I was instructed to change my direction of travel
My assurance slowly faded down
My confidence began dwindling away over time
And I wonder
I'm left in a state of confusion and doubt
Will I ever make it home
I am uncertain about my ability to reach my destination
Will I ever leave the ground
I'm not sure if I'll ever take off or if I'm stuck in one place
Leave this place so far behind
Longing to move away from the current location
The plans that I had were quickly destroyed
My carefully made plans were ruined in a short amount of time
The problem was one I couldn't avoid
I was faced with a situation that was out of my control
They welcomed me to stay overnight
I was offered a place to rest for the night
I'm too tired to complain so I just might
Exhausted and weary, I may choose to not express my dissatisfaction
To the place I recognize
I yearn to return to a familiar place
Far from here and where I've been
A need to be distanced from my present location and past
And all the places that I've been shown
I have been exposed to various places and experiences on my journey
Can they keep me here for good
Unclear if I'll be permanently stranded in this location
Where I hardly know a soul
Being in a place where I am unfamiliar with the people and surroundings
And my fear keeps going on
Anxiety and apprehension persist in my mind
My weariness keeps growing inside
My sense of exhaustion continues to intensify
My patience is starting to subside
I'm beginning to lose my patience and become frustrated
It can't be long or I'll fall through
Time is running out, and I'll suffer negative consequences if I don't reach my destination soon
Till there is no turning back
Pressing on until it is impossible to change my path
Get to where I want to be
My goal is to arrive at my desired destination
Find the ones who wait for me
I hope to reunite with people who are eagerly anticipating my arrival
To the place where I belong
I yearn to arrive at a place where I feel a sense of belonging
