Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He was walking out on you
To the point of no return
Where I found you
When I couldn't find my way home
I could always make my way to you
When I couldn't drink myself sober
I found you
I found you
I found you
Well the last thing that you need now
Is a shoulder there to bleed on
But I believe I've seen light
Coming through you, yeah yeah
When I couldn't find my way home
I could always make my way to you
When I couldn't drink myself sober
I found you
Baby I found you
I found you
When I couldn't find my way home
I could always make my way to you
When I couldn't drink myself sober
I found you
I found you
I couldn't find my way home
But I found you
I couldn't find my way home
But I found you
I couldn't find my way home
But I found you
I couldn't find my way home
I couldn't find my way home
But I found you
I couldn't find my way home
But I found you
I couldn't find my way home
The lyrics of Lloyd Cole's "My Way To You" describe a relationship between two people who found solace in one another during difficult times. The singer describes how, when he was lost and couldn't find his way home, he could always make his way to the person he is singing to. She has helped him through tough times, providing comfort and support when he needed it most. The song also touches on the idea of finding light in the darkness, with the singer believing that he has seen a glimmer of hope in the person he is singing about.
The chorus of the song, which is repeated throughout, emphasizes the importance of this person in the singer's life. When he "couldn't find [his] way home", he "found" her. The repetition of these lines creates a sense of dependability and stability, suggesting that this person is a rock in the singer's life. The final lines of the song, where the singer mentions how he "couldn't find [his] way home" several times before saying that he "found" her, emphasize the importance of her role in his life, suggesting that her presence has helped him find his way.
