All The Way
Jackson Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm so used to you
On the left side, on the left side of the bedside
I'm so used to you
And if you
Find somebody new on the west side, on the west side
Live your best life
Out there in the blue
Woah-oh

I pictured this, I pictured this in my head
But shit was looking different
And if this is it, if this is as good as it gets
I think I wanna give it

All the way, all the way
All the way
All the way, all the way
All the way, yeah

I'm not used to you
Saying goodbye, saying goodbye
For the all time
I'm not used to you
You know

I pictured this, I pictured this in my head
But shit was looking different
And if this is it, if this is as good as it gets
I think I wanna give it

All the way, all the way
All the way
All the way, all the way
All the way, yeah

(Way, yeah)
(Way)
(Way, yeah)

All the way, all the way
All the way
All the way, all the way (woah)
All the way, yeah (ohh)
All the way, all the way (ohh)
All the way




All the way, all the way (ohh)
All the way, yeah (oh)

Overall Meaning

The song "All the Way" by Jackson United is nostalgic and emotional, reflecting on a past that can never be recaptured. The first stanza begins with a somber reminiscence of traveling to Oakland to watch a band perform, possibly a defining moment in the singer's life. The second stanza draws a picture of youth and reckless abandonment, with the lyrics referencing drugs and sneaking beer into a darkened hall. The third stanza mentions a postcard being sent, perhaps as a nostalgic reference to a time long gone.


As the song progresses, the lyrics get increasingly emotional. The fourth stanza speaks of violence and heartbreak, with scars and broken hands described in vivid detail. The fifth stanza reveals that the singer has been gone for a year, and they cannot see their loved one again. Despite this, they are still holding on, waiting at the bar. The final stanza is poignant and bittersweet, as the singer acknowledges that the good times are over, and is glad to see them end, but still longs for the past and the people who were a part of it.
