lyrics: |
  I'm on my way to you
  Do you want me to stop by Trader Joe's?
  A frozen dinner for two
  I'm driving in the fast lane
  On my way to you, oo
  On my way to you, ooo
  I'm on my way to you
  On my way to you
  Omw

  Sunsetting at the end of the road
  Got my hand out the window
  And I'm tapping along to the rhythm
  Moon rising up, up over our mountain
  Yeah, on the horizon is my destination
  Feeling elation
  Like a vacation
  To be coming back home to you
  I could travel all the world
  Looking for something to do
  But nothing is as good as
  Nothing like being on my way

  To you
  Do you want me to stop by Trader Joe's?
  A frozen dinner for two
  I'm driving in the fast lane
  On my way to you, oo
  On my way to you, ooo
  I'm on my way to you
  On my way to you
  Omw

  I'm on my way to you
  Do you want me to stop by Trader Joe's?
  A frozen dinner for two
  I'm driving in the fast lane
  On my way to you, ooo
  (On my way to you)
  On my way to you, ooo
  (On my way to you)
  I'm on my way to you, ooo
  Omw
  Ooo omw, omw
  Ooo omw, omw
  Ooo omw, omw

Track eight on [*I*](/albums/i/), the **lead single** ahead of the LP. [EARMILK](https://earmilk.com/2024/06/25/scoobert-doobert-is-omw-to-his-love/) heard anticipation after a long time apart: warm nostalgic pads, guitar plucks in the bridge, laid-back vocal runs, paired with an AI visual of a dog on his way to meet his favorite cat.

The hook is domestic and specific: *do you want me to stop by Trader Joe's? / a frozen dinner for two*. Not a grand romantic gesture, a grocery run on the drive home. The whole song is the text-speak title, the stretch between departure and arrival, and the bridge echoes [*time with u*](/songs/time-with-u/): you could travel all the world, but *nothing like being on my way* back.

On a record written across the Grand Tetons, Sierra Nevada, Mount Whitney, Shinkansen, and PCH, this is the **home vector**. Motion isn't wanderlust, it's the fast lane toward u. Pairs with [*don't drive sleepy*](/songs/dont-drive-sleepy/) and [*that's how u know i love u*](/songs/thats-how-u-know-i-love-u/).
