On My Way
Lucine Gregster Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In any second now
I'm coming home
For good
Old trees and houses
They are passing by
We've taken route
The way I should
Cause baby
I've been lost for quite a while
But maybe I was missing you
Time flies
Years and years without your face
But I'm still in love with you
(With you, you, with you)
Wore out my shoes
Chasing old childhood dreams
With a numb half-broken heart
My father once told me: „Sometimes it takes
A million steps to get back to the start"
Cause baby
I've been lost for quite a while
And maybe I was missing you
Time flies
Years and years without your face
But I'm still in love with you
And choirs will sing the words
That I never knew
Maybe I'm home when I'm with you
When I'm with you
When I'm with you
When I'm with you
When I'm with you
Baby
I've been lost for quite a while
But maybe I was missing you
And choirs will sing the words
That I never knew
Baby, I'm home when I'm with you
Lucine Gregster's song "On My Way" tells the story of someone who has been wandering for a long time, chasing old dreams but feeling lost and incomplete, until they finally find their way back home to the person they love. The song opens with the singer declaring that they are "on my way," about to arrive at their destination any second now. They are coming home for good to a familiar landscape of "old trees and houses" that pass them by as they finally take the right route, the one that leads them back to where they belong.
The lyrics then reveal that the singer has been lost for quite a while, possibly chasing childhood dreams that didn't bring them lasting fulfillment. They have worn out their shoes, and their heart feels numb and half-broken. However, the singer's father gives them a piece of wisdom: sometimes it takes a million steps to get back to the start. This line suggests that the singer needs to go through a long journey of self-discovery and exploration before they can find their way back to their true home and the person they love.
The chorus repeats the themes of being lost and missing the person the singer loves, but it also introduces the image of choirs singing words that the singer never knew. This line could mean various things, such as the singer discovering new depths of emotion and understanding when they reconnect with their loved one, or the idea that love can communicate things that words alone cannot express. The song ends with the lyrics echoing the sentiment that the singer is finally home when they are with the person they love.
