🐴 By The Way Lyrics Meaning
The Backstreet Boys are still trying to explain the meaning of their hit "I Want It That Way" - 19 years after it was first released. Chrissy Teigen decided to share her confusion about the song
The chorus of “Perfect Way” talks about how the perfect way is not enough. The line “This is the perfect way” is repeated throughout the song, but it is always followed by the line “Our life goes on anyway.”.

Peeling back the outer layer of ‘By the Way’ exposes a core narrative of love and connection amidst the chaos.

By observing the lyrics of the song, you can see that this character has indeed decided to leave her life behind in order to “save the world” .

[Intro: Talent] Ooh, yeah (Ooh) (Come on, come on) [Verse 1: 2Pac] I see no changes, wake up in the morning and I ask myself Is life worth livin'? Should I blast myself? I'm tired of bein' poor
Girl, you’re amazing (Amazing) Just the way you are (Are) When I see your face. There’s not a thing that I would change. ‘Cause you’re amazing. Just the way you are. And when you smile. The whole world stops and stares for a while. ‘Cause, girl, you’re amazing.
During the episode, a fan called in and asked the boys the question that has been on all our minds since 2009. The fan asked, “In your song ‘I Want It That Way,’ why do you sing ‘I never want to hear you say/I want it that way’? What way do you not want it to be?”. View on Instagram. It was such a good question.
Somebody holds the key. Well, I'm near the end and I just ain't got the time. And I'm wasted and I can't find my way home. I can't find my way home. But I can't find my way home. But I can't find my way home. But I can't find my way home. Still I can't find my way home. And I've done nothing wrong.
