On My Way
OhNo! Milo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I was waiting for a train one Sunday.
I waited for a while,
It never came.
The train was coming so that i could go and see her.
I guess that now she thinks my feelings lie elsewhere.

I feel asleep on the station platform.
He said I'd been there for an hour or two.
The train had passed right by without my knowing.
Armageddon couldn't catch my ear.

I'm finding you...
Guilty as charged for being late.
And wish that you...
Would show up on time one of these days.

The next one came around at about 3:30.
By then fatigue controlled entirely.
Movements and thoughts with aim of transportation.
Anywhere that's near to her is fine by me.
I'm beginning to think...you'll never come.

But i'm not worried about it...
Because I'm done with all this waiting around for his excuse.
If he doesn't find one,
You'd better believe that I'm through.

The midnight train rolls in,
It seems I've fallen asleep again.
There must be some strange disease
That causes this slumber to come over me.

As cities pass by
I become more aware of my desire
To see you there.
I'm on my way.

The train pulled in without a sound;
I was gone, you'll never see me now,
I'm on my way.




I'm done waiting around for this...
I'm on my way home.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of OhNo! Milo's "On my way" paint a picture of a protagonist who is waiting for the train to go and see someone special. The train, however, does not arrive, causing the singer to fall asleep on the station platform. The subsequent trains come and go, and the singer becomes increasingly frustrated about the wait time. There's a sense of urgency and anticipation that underlines the lyrics. The singer expresses frustration towards the person he or she is waiting for, “Guilty as charged for being late. And wish that you would show up on time one of these days.” Eventually, the singer hops on the next train that comes by and finally takes off to make the journey.


The lyrics of the song suggest that the waiting period was prolonged, tiring, and seemed endless. The sense of frustration is evident, as the singer feels that perhaps the other person may not consider his or her feelings. The final verse is a solemn note, indicating that the singer has given up on waiting for someone who may not show up. “I'm done waiting around for this...I'm on my way home.” The song's lyrics indicate a journey towards self-discovery, where the singer decides to let go of waiting and deal with the disappointment.
