On your way
On the F train in the dark
On your way
You were wearing your guitar
Solo show, Lower East Side
No one showed, sang the B-sides
And a while, on the side-stage
Crooked smile, looking my way
I remember when you were a seeker
Staring into a stereo speaker
Kick drum and someone singing
Made you one with everything
I remember when your tape was rolling
You were going where the take was going
No regrets and no mistakes
You get one take
You're on your way
(On your way, you're on your way)
On your way
(On your way, you're on your way)
On your way
You were waiting on a big jet plane
On your way
Flying out of JFK
Saw you then on your way up
How you been, quit my day job
Come a ways since the days when
We made demos in the basement
I remember when you were a seeker
Staring into a stereo speaker
Kick drum and someone singing
Made you one with everything
I remember when your tape was rolling
You were going where the take was going
No regrets and no mistakes
You get one take
You're on your way
(On your way, you're on your way)
On your way
(On your way, you're on your way)
The way you looked under the lights
(On your way, you're on your way)
And later on the street outside
(On your way, you're on your way)
You always had those laughing eyes
(On your way, you're on your way)
You wouldn't have wanted me to cry
(On your way, you're on your way)
You wouldn't want me haunted by
(On your way, you're on your way)
The song we never got to write
(On your way, you're on your way)
The sight of you on a New York night
(On your way, you're on your way)
You didn't like to say goodbye
Tonight I'm gonna be a seeker
Staring into a stereo speaker
Kick drum and someone singing
Make me one with everything
Tonight my tape is rolling
I'm going where the take is going
No regrets and no mistakes
You get one take
