Homesick
Tiffany Day Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been a while since I've seen your face
Wanna know if you′re going out, yeah
Wanna know if you've found your place
'Cause last time I saw you were crying, I just had to ask
Why you be so upset, don′t be so sad
It′s been a year, a little less fear
See I never knew how to party or knew how to act
Another year, a little less tears
Am I gonna be okay?
Will it ever go away?
I mean, what the hell did I expect from this?
Am I gonna be okay?
Will it ever go my way?
No, it′s hard to build a home with sand and sticks
Afraid of getting much older
I miss my dog and my old friends
Get used to being a loner
I'm scared the summers are over
I don′t want this feeling to go
It's never better alone
Need someone close to me, so don′t you leave
I'm fighting, I won't give in to hope
It′s just a trick, don′t you know?
I want your company, don't take it please, no
Been a while since I′ve been back, yeah
Feeling good but I bet it won't last
Never thought I′d get up here, yeah
Had to cut so I start from scratch
Am I gonna be okay?
Will it ever go away?
I mean, what the hell did I expect from this?
Am I gonna be okay?
Will it ever go my way?
No, it's hard to build a home with sand and sticks
Afraid of getting much older
I miss my dog and my old friends
Get used to being a loner
I′m scared the summers are over
The song "HOMESICK" by Tiffany Day is a reflection on the artist's feelings of displacement and nostalgia for the past. The lyrics are written in a stream-of-consciousness style where Day reflects on various moments in her life and how they have led her to where she is now. The song opens with Day acknowledging that it has been a while since she has been in a certain place, and even longer since she has seen someone's face. She is curious about this person's life and whether they have managed to find a sense of belonging since she last saw them.
The chorus of the song captures the essence of Day's thoughts, as she contemplates her future and whether she will ever be able to find a place to call home. She wonders if her feelings of loneliness and displacement will ever go away and whether she will be able to build a home that is strong enough to withstand the test of time. Day acknowledges the difficulties of life, and how it is hard to build something permanent with "sand and sticks." She is afraid of getting older and missing the friendships and connections that she used to have. Ultimately, the song is about hope and the need for companionship and closeness.
Overall, "HOMESICK" is a deeply personal song that captures the universal feeling of longing for a sense of belonging and the need for connection with others. It is a reminder that even in our darkest moments, we are not alone, and that we can find comfort and hope in the people around us.
