On My Way
Francis White Lyrics

The opening lines of Francis White's "On My Way" are an interesting mix of different emotions. In the first line, the singer, presumably the singer, has apparently handed over a necklace to someone. However, instead of being content, the person looks disheveled and a tad bit unhappy. The next line hints that this has something to do with makeup - perhaps someone cried, or maybe there was some other emotional upheaval. The singer then offers to take the person to their place, where they start rolling fast. This line can imply a lot of things, but it's most likely a reference to the act of rolling a joint - a common activity during casual encounters. We then learn that the person is wearing vintage glasses, and they have a "rock 'n' rolling feeling" that they hide behind a cigarette. This is probably a reference to an escapist mentality the person has, but it's unsure as to what kind of escape they're looking for.

In the next verse, the singer uses an explicit metaphor when they say that they will "hide my hands inside your pants." It's unclear whether this is a metaphor for actual sexual activity or a general sense of closeness - both are plausible. The next line seems to reference the fact that the two are having fun together, dancing in a way that elicits laughter. However, the most prominent line in this segment is the "cause yeah I love you on my way" - which sounds like an oxymoron at first. However, it could imply that the two are comfortable with their casual relationship and don't need to define it as love, but enjoy each other's company while they can.

The final verse of the song is perhaps the most cryptic. The singer references a story that the person tells which they have made them a part of - one that silently takes hold of them. It's unclear what the story is about, but it seems as though the singer is hinting at an added dimension to their relationship. The rest of the lines are the same as the previous two - the metaphor, the dancing, the expression of love on the go.
