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
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
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
