Going Home
Journey Back: Rediscovering Home in Sawyer Norman's Melody
Lyrics
Wake up on the road to a car horn yelling
Waking up to the sound of a car horn, a signal to pay attention and follow the rules.
Telling me to get in line
Feeling pressured to conform and fit into societal expectations.
On the way home, it’s four in the morning
Heading home at an early hour, possibly after a period of work or travel.
I'm making up for wasted time
Compensating for lost time, making an effort to catch up on what has been neglected.
I haven’t seen my family in way too long
Expressing a longing for family after an extended period of separation.
Been barely getting by
Struggling to make ends meet, facing financial or personal challenges.
I'll make it back to my house, even if it kills me
Determined to return home, even if facing difficulties or obstacles.
I'm driving through the night
Driving through the night, indicating a strong commitment to reaching the destination.
I’m going home to see my brothers and my friends
Anticipation and excitement about reuniting with brothers and friends.
I’m going home to hug my mom and hug my dad
Expressing a desire to embrace and reconnect with parents through hugs.
The past six months have kicked my butt
Reflecting on a challenging six months, facing adversity and difficulties.
& I’ve felt so far away
Feeling emotionally distant or disconnected during the mentioned time frame.
I’m going home; I wish that I could stay
Expressing a wish to stay and prolong the time spent at home.
Just across the border of South Carolina
Specifically referencing the border of South Carolina as a geographical marker.
Cup of coffee, & the windows down
Enjoying simple pleasures like a cup of coffee with the windows down.
I'm Breathing in the air, it feels like static
Experiencing a heightened awareness, possibly due to the refreshing environment.
I never thought I’d miss this town
Surprised by missing the familiarity and comfort of the town.
I Roll into the driveway at five a.m.
Arriving home early in the morning and noticing the welcoming porch light.
The front porch light is on
Symbolizing the warmth and readiness of the home environment.
And I can’t wait to get through that door
Eagerly looking forward to entering the house and reuniting with loved ones.
I'm running across the lawn
Expressing excitement by running across the lawn to reach home quickly.
I’m going home to see my brothers and my friends
Reiterating the anticipation of seeing brothers and friends.
I’m going home to hug my mom and hug my dad
Repeating the desire to hug both parents as a form of affectionate reunion.
The past six months have kicked my butt
Recalling the challenges faced over the past six months.
I’ve felt so far away
Emphasizing the emotional distance felt during the mentioned period.
I’m going home; I wish that I could stay
Expressing the ongoing wish to stay longer at home.
I’m going home to see my brothers and my friends
Repeating the excitement of reuniting with brothers and friends.
I’m going home to hug my mom and hug my dad
Reiterating the desire to hug both parents upon returning home.
The past six months have kicked my butt
Reflecting on the challenges faced and the sense of being distanced in recent months.
I’ve felt so far away
Expressing the ongoing wish to stay connected and close to home.
I’m going home; I wish that I could stay
Repeating the desire to extend the time spent at home.
