On the Go
Bebe Rexha feat. Pink Sweat$ & Lunay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I'm on the go
I wanna touch you
But I'm on the road
Stay up until the daylight
Straight trippin' 'cause you ain't mine, ayy
Don't ask me if I'm doing fine
Act like everything's good, but it's not
I feel like I'm alone on the block
Wish that I could turn dollar signs into time
(Ooh-ooh-ooh)
I wanna love you
But I'm on the go
I wanna touch you
But I'm on the road
I wanna get to know you better
But I can't get off this phone
I wanna love you
But I'm on the go
Sometimes I wake up and I cannot breathe
Look to my left and you're not next to me
So I numb the pain with a cup and a drink (ooh-ooh-ooh)
And I got insecurities
Scared that one day you might leave
So I bury all my thoughts in this song
I wanna love you
But I'm on the go
I wanna touch you
But I'm on the road
I wanna get to know you better
But I can't get off this phone
I wanna love you
But I'm on the go
But I'm on the go
On the go
I'm on the go (Lu-Lu, ayy)
Baby, a mal tiempo, siempre buena cara (oh)
Aunque no quieras, tengo que hablarte a la clara (clara)
Mi vida e' una gira, no hay hora de volver
Pero te juro que te busco si otra vez vuelvo a nacer
Porque desde que probé me dejaste hookeao' (hookeao')
'Taba haciendo money, no es que te haya pichao'
Esto vamo' a darlo por cancelao'
Otro avión privado en el que no estás al lao'
To'a vestía de Moschino en la puerta del Rhino (ah)
Cuando tú ni fumaba' y lo prendimo' (-dimo)
Aquí no está' y así lo quiso el destino (eh)
Cada cual por su camino
Y desde que probé me dejaste hookeao' (hookeao')
'Taba haciendo money, no es que te haya pichao' (pichao')
Esto vamo' a darlo por cancelao'
Pero conmigo tiene' tu secreto guardao'
I wanna love you
But I'm on the go
I wanna touch you
But I'm on the road
I wanna get to know you better
But I can't get off this phone
I wanna love you
But I'm on the go
But I'm on the go
Go
On the go
On the go
I'm on the go
The lyrics of "On The Go" are an honest expression of the difficulties of maintaining a relationship while constantly traveling or being on the road. The first verse sets the tone with the singer expressing her desire to love and touch her partner, but her busy schedule gets in the way. The chorus repeats this sentiment, with the singer lamenting that she can't slow down or be in one place long enough to really get to know her partner.
The second verse reveals the singer's struggles with anxiety and feeling alone without her partner. She turns to substance use to numb the pain and bury her thoughts in this song. The honesty of this verse is a reminder that life on the go can be difficult and lonely, even for successful artists.
The verse in Spanish (performed by Lunay) adds another layer to the song, with the singer (presumably in a long-distance relationship with the main singer) acknowledging that their relationship has been strained by their respective busy schedules. However, he still holds onto the hope that they can reunite and keep their secrets safe together.
Overall, "On The Go" is a poignant reflection on the challenges of relationships on the road, and its bilingual lyrics add a layer of complexity to the song.

I wanna love you but I’m on the go
I wanna touch you but I’m on the road
Stay up until the daylight
Straight tripping, cause you ain’t mine Don’t ask me if I’m doing fine
Cause you know that I’m gonna lie
Act like everythings good when it’s not
I feel like I’m alone on the block
Wish that I could turn dollar signs into time
I wanna love you but I’m on the go
I wanna touch you but I’m on the road
I wanna get to know you better but i can’t get off this phone
I wanna love you but I’m on the go
Sometimes I wake up and I cannot breathe
Look to my left and you’re not next to me
So I numb the pain with a cup and a drink
And I got insecurites, fear that one day you might leave
So I bury all my thoughts in this song
I wanna love you but I’m on the go
I wanna touch you but I’m on the road
I wanna get to know you better but i can’t get off this phone

Cada cual por su camino
Porque desde que probe me dejaste hookiao
Estaba haciendo money no es que haya picheao
Esto vamo a darle por cancelao
Pero conmigo tienes tu secreto guardado
I wanna love you but I’m on the go
