On My Way Lyrics

[Verse 1: Jonah Marais & Jack Avery]
When you dream of free
Then that's where I'll be
You know I'm not too far
You should wait on me
You can have your way
Like the sun has day
Cast your fears away
You should reach for me


[Refrain: Corbyn Besson]
Reach out for me, reach out for me, reach out for me
Reach out for me, reach out for me, reach out for me, reach out for me
Reach out for me, reach out for me, reach out for me

[Chorus: Zach Herron & Corbyn Besson]
Don't worry I'm on my way
Reach out for me, reach out for me, reach out for me
Don't worry I'm on my way
Reach out for me, reach out for me, reach out for me
Just like a shooting star I'll crash into your galaxy
Don't worry I'm on my way
Reach out for me, reach out for me, reach out for me

[Breakdown]
[Verse 2: Corbyn Besson & Daniel Seavey]
Bet you didn't know
I can see your soul
And it's beautiful
You're so colorful
I can see you clear
You are everywhere
You live in my mind
Wanna keep you there


[Refrain: Corbyn Besson]
Reach out for me, reach out for me, reach out for me
Reach out for me, reach out for me, reach out for me, reach out for me
Reach out for me, reach out for me, reach out for me

[Chorus: Zach Herron & Corbyn Besson]
Don't worry I'm on my way
Reach out for me, reach out for me, reach out for me
Don't worry I'm on my way
Reach out for me, reach out for me, reach out for me
Just like a shooting star I'll crash into your galaxy
Don't worry I'm on my way
Reach out for me, reach out for me, reach out for me

About

Genius Annotation

“On My Way” is the fourth track on Why Don’t We’s first EP Only The Beginning. It shares a similar-style beat to the second track of the EP, “Nobody Gotta Know.”

The song is about a guy who’s telling the girl to lean back on him and that it is his job to do things for her at whatever cost.

The breakdown of the song is the first thing that anybody heard from of the band, as it was their first post on their Instagram on September 26th, 2016; even though it was released nearly two months later. In a track-by track commentary for the EP, member Daniel Seavey commented:

I feel like, with this song, we all have a strong and special connection to it, because this was the first sound that anyone heard from our band. It was in our teaser video, with the static, way back when we first became a band.
