On and On
Prep Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I never thought I had a chance
You seemed so sure of what you wanted
But I guess everybody's lookin' to disappear
You're the only road I can see from here
And I don't mind it gettin' us nowhere

'Cause I've been doin' a lot of thinkin' since we split
Said a lot of things when I didn't know shit
And I should've loved you more, that's the truth of it
Sometimes I'm slow to the mark
Been in a lot of places I don't fit
I know we're better
I know we're more if we take the chance
This one could run on and on

With all those sparks that never catch
(The way it is, just the way it is)
And all those birds that never fly back
(The way it is, just the way it is)

If you're still lookin' for a place to disappear
There's a lot of sky I can see from here
If you don't mind it gettin' us nowhere

'Cause I've been doin' a lot of thinkin' since we split
Said a lot of things when I didn't know shit
And I should've loved you more, that's the truth of it
But sometimes I'm slow to the mark
Been in a lot of places I don't fit
I know we're better
I know we're more if we take the chance
This one could run on and on

On and on

On and on

(The way it is, just the way it was)
On and on
(The way it is, just the way it was)
On and on, on and on...




On and on
(The way it is, just the way it...)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Prep's song "On and On" explore feelings of longing and regret in the aftermath of a break-up. The singer expresses remorse for not having loved their partner enough and not realizing what they had until it was gone. The idea of disappearing or running away is also present, suggesting that the singer may be feeling lost or uncertain about where to go from here. Despite these feelings, the singer holds onto the possibility of a future with their partner, acknowledging that it may take some effort and risk-taking to get there.


The repetition of the phrase "On and on" at the end of each chorus reinforces the idea of a relationship that could continue indefinitely if given the chance. The imagery of sparks that never catch and birds that never fly back speaks to the fleeting nature of love and the difficulty of recapturing it once it's gone. The line "Sometimes I'm slow to the mark" suggests that the singer may have made mistakes or missed opportunities in the past, but they are now ready to take action and fight for their relationship.


Line by Line Meaning

I never thought I had a chance
I didn't think we could be together


You seemed so sure of what you wanted
You seemed confident that we couldn't be together


But I guess everybody's lookin' to disappear
Everyone wants to be hidden or vanish at some point


You're the only road I can see from here
You're the only way for me to go forward


And I don't mind it gettin' us nowhere
It's fine to not have any progress, as long as we're together


'Cause I've been doin' a lot of thinkin' since we split
I've been reflecting a lot since we broke up


Said a lot of things when I didn't know shit
I said things when I didn't understand enough


And I should've loved you more, that's the truth of it
I should have loved you better


Sometimes I'm slow to the mark
Sometimes I don't realize things right away


Been in a lot of places I don't fit
I've been in many situations that weren't for me


I know we're better
I know we could be great together


I know we're more if we take the chance
I know we could be even better if we give it a shot


This one could run on and on
Our relationship could last forever


With all those sparks that never catch
Even with all the potential, nothing ever happened between us


(The way it is, just the way it is)
That's just how things are


And all those birds that never fly back
All the chances that were missed and will never come back


If you're still lookin' for a place to disappear
If you still need to escape


There's a lot of sky I can see from here
There's endless possibilities available for us


On and on
Our relationship lasting forever


(The way it is, just the way it was)
Things have always been this way


On and on, on and on...
Our love continuing indefinitely


(The way it is, just the way it...)
Things will always remain as they are

On and On by PREP lyrics

[Verse 1]
I never thought I had a chance,
It seems so sure of what you wanted,
I guess everybody is looking to disappear,
You're the only road I can see from here,
But I don't mind in getting us nowhere,

[Chorus]
Cause I've been doing a lot of thinking since we split ,
Saying a lot of things when I didn't know shit ,
And I should loved you more that's the truth of it,
Sometimes I'm slow to the mark,
I've been a lot of places since I don't fit,
I know it better, I know it more,
If you take a chance,
This one could run,
On and On,

[Verse 2]
And all those sparks that never catch,
And all those birds that never fly back,
I'm still looking for a place to disappear,
There's a lot of sky I can see from here,
If you don't mind in getting us nowhere,

[Chorus]
Cause I've been doing a lot of thinking since we split,
Saying a lot of things when I didn't know shit,
And I should loved you more that's the truth of it,
Sometimes I'm slow to the mark,
I've been a lot of places since I don't fit,
I know it better, I know it more,
If you take a chance,
This one could run,
On and On,

On and On,

On and On,

On and On,

P.S. I did my best and feel free to correct some of the parts. Thank you :)
(Edit: I corrected some parts in the chorus thanks to your help)
