On My Way Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ballerina
Trapped between the walls of her own home
Oh God, Kristina
Don't once think that this madness is my fault alone

[Pre-Chorus]
Now a nightmare's in the hands
Still everyday's another chance

[Chorus]
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
Let's get married (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
I'll buy a ring and then we'll (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Consecrate this messy love

[Verse 2]
Spinning wildly
'Til I finally realize how busy I am
We're both so broken
And our long hoping is that we'll stumble upon our love again

[Pre-Chorus]
Just believe in me, Kristina
All these demons, I can beat them

[Chorus]
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
Let's get married (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
I'll buy a ring and then we'll (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Consecrate this messy love

[Bridge]
I caught you dancing quietly
It felt like being somebody else
Oh, my friend
It seems like our love is too maddening for everyone else


[Chorus]
Let's get married (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
I'll buy a ring and then we'll (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Consecrate this messy love
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
Let's get married (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
I'll buy a ring and then we'll (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Consecrate this messy love

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
