Moving On Lyrics

Please, don't get me started looking backwards to move on
Strong, yet open-hearted
Accept leaving, when leavings come
Gone, didn't see it coming. Never said "I love you", hope you knew
Now my bags are packed, and my sails are tacked, and my course is marked by stars
When this cycle ends, will it start again?
Will we recognise old friends?

I'm on my way!
Soon be moving on my way!
Leave a little light on
Leave a little light on

Tired, always unwinding
All these deadlines in my mind
Seeds and dreams we planted
Took for granted, didn't root

Walking down this road
When my pulse beats slow
Hope to have you close at hand
When this cycle ends
Will it start again?
Will we recognise old friends?

I'm on my way!
Soon be moving on my way!
Leave a little light on
Leave a little light on

I'm on my way!
On my way!
On my way!
On my way!
Leave a light on
Leave a little light on

I'm on my way!
Soon be moving on my way!
Leave a little light on
Leave a little light on

I'm on my way!
On my way!
On my way!
On my way!
Leave a light on
Leave a little light on
Leave a little light on...

Please, don't get me started looking backwards to move on
Strong, yet open-hearted 
Accept leaving, when leavings come
Gone, didn't see it coming. Never said "I love you", hope you knew
Now my bags are packed, and my sails are tacked, and my course is marked by stars
When this cycle ends, will it start again?
Will we recognise old friends?

I'm on my way!
Soon be moving on my way!
Leave a little light on
Leave a little light on

Tired, always unwinding
All these deadlines in my mind
Seeds and dreams we planted
Took for granted, didn't root

Walking down this road
When my pulse beats slow
Hope to have you close at hand
When this cycle ends
Will it start again?
Will we recognise old friends?

I'm on my way!
Soon be moving on my way!
Leave a little light on
Leave a little light on

I'm on my way!
On my way!
On my way!
On my way!
Leave a light on
Leave a little light on

I'm on my way!
Soon be moving on my way!
Leave a little light on
Leave a little light on

I'm on my way!
On my way!
On my way!
On my way!
Leave a light on
Leave a little light on
Leave a little light on...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

The video for this song ripped me apart. My greyhound, Jax, was diagnosed with bone cancer in his hind leg earlier this year. A week later the leg was amputated to relieve the pain of the cancer, but it was still terminal. While he was recovering from the surgery, I caught this music video on Paladia. It paralleled the situation so closely that I couldn't help but cry. 6 months after the amputation, and despite chemotherapy, the cancer had spread to his lungs and other organs. He was struggling to breathe, could no longer support his own weight, and stopped taking solid foods. We decided to have him euthanized to save him any more suffering. A few days later, I happen to see this music video again. I bawled my eyes out. We wanted so badly to keep him with us. The only relief is knowing that he's no longer suffering.
