Upon the release of this single which is part of her special Christmas EP “Wonderland”, Marika Hackman stated on Facebook:
that heatwave back in august got me feeling so festive that i decided to make a christmas ep".
This song includes the famous sleigh bells with a pop/rock vibe. The lyrics are...
[Verse 1]
We drove all day
Pushing hard to beat the snow
We're on our way
A few more hours and we'll be home
In the heat of the city
The snow is never settled
In the moonlight on the pine trees
The forest, cold as hell
[Hook]
On my way
On my way
[Verse 2]
Through the towns
All dressed up in stupid lights
Window down
I cut my cheekbones on the ice
It's the time of the season
The cold is unforgiving
But the lamp light on the snowflakes
Life is still worth living
[Chorus 1]
Fa la la la la, we're coming home for Christmas
I'm on my way
Drive beneath the stars, 'cause I would never miss this
Oh, I'm on my way
[Bridge]
Silent night
I put the radio on loud
The road's turned white
There's a blanket on the ground
Got my feet on the dashboard
The bells have started ringing
And you sleep on the side door
The choir starts to sing
[Chorus 2]
Fa la la la la, the holly and the ivy
I'm on my way
Driving under stars, my baby's on the backseat
Oh, I'm on my way
Another half an hour and I'll be back for Christmas
I'm on my way
We're driving under stars, 'cause I would never miss this
Oh, I'm on my way
