All The Way
Milkman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

First time I saw you, I knew right away
Made up my mind, you would be mine someday
You know I need you, so don't turn away
'Cause at the end of the day, I'll be alright
Still I'm praying that you'll change your mind
I'll be okay
'Cause you'll come around eventually
Hey-hey-hey
When I love someone, I'm loving all the way
Hey-hey-hey
You know I'm the one to take you all the way

(Oh oh ooh oh oh ooh)
When I love someone, I'm loving all the way
Hey-hey-hey
(Oh oh ooh oh oh ooh)
You know I'm the one to take you all the way

I know you hold back but just let it go,
'Cause I just won't stand to watch you walk alone,
Don't be afraid, you're not on your own
As long as you know we'll be alright
Still I'm praying that you change your mind,
I'll be okay
'Cause you'll come around eventually

Hey-hey-hey
When I love someone, I'm loving all the way
Hey-hey-hey
You know I'm the one to take you all the way

Hey-hey-hey
When I love someone, I'm loving all the way
Hey-hey-hey
You know I'm the one to take you all the way

(Oh oh ooh oh oh ooh)
When I love someone, I'm loving all the way
Hey-hey-hey
(Oh oh ooh oh oh ooh)
You know I'm the one to take you all the way

I told you
When I love someone, I love them all the way
Hey-hey-hey
You know I'm the one to take you all the way

Hey-hey-hey
When I love someone, I'm loving all the way
Hey-hey-hey
You know I'm the one to take you all the way





You know I'm the one to take you all the way

Overall Meaning

The Milkman's song "All the Way" is about professing one's love for someone and assuring them of your commitment to love them for all that they are. The song starts by the singer expressing that when they first saw the person they're singing about, they knew right away that they would be together someday. The singer goes on to say that they need their love interest and it would be devastating if they turned away. Despite that, the singer is confident that they'll be alright in the end, even if their love interest doesn't reciprocate their affections immediately. The chorus drives home the point that when the singer loves someone, they love "all the way" and they're the one who will take their love interest there.


The second verse begins by acknowledging that the singer's love interest has been holding back, and that the singer is not okay with watching them walk alone. They remind their love interest that they won't be alone as long as they're together. Again, the singer is hopeful that their love interest will come around eventually, even if it takes time.


Overall, the song is a declaration of love and commitment to someone who may not be ready for that level of love just yet. The Milkman's lyrics convey a sense of sincerity and vulnerability, which can be relatable emotions for many people who have been in similar situations.

I like how you're doing this EDM stuff, but when are you going to do mashups again? I fell in love with you because of the mashups like Algorithms and Circle of Fifths
