Track eight on I, the lead single ahead of the LP. EARMILK 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: 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 and that’s how u know i love u.

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
