Say We'll Make It

Vacation Manor's song "Say We'll Make It" delves into the complexities and challenges of maintaining a relationship through difficult times. The lyrics reflect a sense of determination and hope, despite the obstacles that the couple faces. The opening lines, "Don't have a single regret about where we are or where we're headed," set a tone of acceptance and commitment to the journey, even though it is acknowledged that the path is harder than expected. This sentiment is relatable to anyone who has experienced the ups and downs of a long-term relationship.

The recurring theme of being "stuck in the in-between" captures the feeling of being in a transitional phase, where progress is slow and uncertainty looms large. The mention of "calling long-distance on a land-line" evokes a sense of nostalgia and the struggle to maintain connection despite physical or emotional distance. The protagonist's internal conflict is evident in the lines, "Running in circles going crazy in my own mind," highlighting the mental toll that such uncertainty can take.

Despite the challenges, there is a persistent belief in the relationship's potential to endure. The repeated affirmation, "I know we'll make it, but I still need you to say we'll make it," underscores the need for mutual reassurance and support. This plea for verbal affirmation from a partner emphasizes the importance of communication and emotional validation in sustaining a relationship. The song beautifully captures the delicate balance between hope and doubt, and the necessity of both partners being committed to overcoming the hurdles together.
