On My Way To You

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

ON MY WAY TO YOU
THERE WAS THIS GIRL IN ALBUQUERQUE
I DON'T THINK SHE REALLY MEANT TO HURT ME
BUT SHE DID
SO WHAT DID I DO
MOVED IN WITH A GIRL IN KNEW FROM COLLEGE
IF LOVED WALKED AWAY I NEVER SAW IT
BUT SHE DID
A LOT OF LITTLE THINGS FELL THROUGH
ON MY WAY TO YOU

I HURT I WALKED
I RAN I CRAWLED
LET LOVE MAKE ME LOOK LIKE A FOOL
I LOST SOME TIME
SPUN THESE WHEELS OF MINE
SEARCHIN' FOR THE TRUTH
ON MY WAY TO YOU

ON MY WAY TO YOU
I ONLY MADE ONE RIGHT DECISION
I LEARNED WHAT REAL LOVE IS AND ISN'T
IN YOUR ARMS
MY AIM WAS TRUE
TRUE AND HONEST AS YOUR BLUE EYES
THAT LED ME ALL THE WAY THAT ONE NIGHT
TO YOUR HEART
LOST MY WAY A TIME OR TWO
ON MY WAY TO YOU

CHORUS

YOU WERE LIKE A BRICK WALL IN
A ROAD I THOUGHT WOULD NEVER END
THE OPEN ARMS THAT REACHED OUT TO ME




THAT ARROW OUT OF THE BLUE THAT WENT RIGHT THROUGH ME
CHORUS

Overall Meaning

The song "On My Way To You" by Aaron Pritchett is a reflective piece about the journey the singer took to find true love. The lyrics paint a picture of past relationships that ultimately led him to the one he loves. The song is about heartbreak, perseverance, and finding love when you least expect it.


The first verse speaks of a girl in Albuquerque who hurt the singer, possibly through a failed relationship. The pain of that experience leads him to move in with someone he knew from college. However, that relationship also fizzles out. The line "A lot of little things fell through" implies that the singer tried to find love in various ways, but things didn't work out until he met the person he is currently with. He regrets the time he lost spinning his wheels trying to find love.


The chorus speaks to the emotional journey he went through before finding his current love. He "hurt, walked, ran, and crawled" trying to find the truth of what real love is. However, he ultimately found it with the person he sings to in the song. She was a "brick wall in a road" that he didn't think would end, but her open arms ultimately led him to her heart.
