Verse 1

I had already lost you

I saw your photo in the newspaper

I couldn't believe what I heard

You live in the city again

And not much later we are sitting together for hours again

Two chairs by the water and you look at me the same way again

Have you been traveling or did you just let it go

Chorus 1

Hey, you know what

I hope it lasts a while

Look at the sun dancing on the windows

It hasn't even been summer yet

We can talk about anything

But sometimes silence tells the most

And as if it's nothing

We are on our way to later and I

Hope it's something

That still remains when summer has passed

Verse 2

We don't look at the facts

Pretend you can stay longer

It's not that I regret it

But did I miss something

So sorry that I left here all that time ago

Now I meet you again, and we can't stop talking

And if you give me a little more time, we'll catch up again

Chorus 2

Hey, you know what

I hope it lasts a while

Look at the sun dancing on the windows

It hasn't even been summer yet

We can talk about anything

But sometimes silence tells the most

And as if it's nothing

We are on our way to later and I

Hope it's something

That still remains when summer has passed

Outro

And as if it's nothing

We are on our way to later and I

Hope it's something

That still remains when summer has passed

When summer has passed

SONG MEANING

“Onderweg Naar Later” feels like finding an old photo, only to realise the person in it has suddenly stepped back into your life. Suzan & Freek paint a tender scene: two former lovers bump into each other after years apart and end up side-by-side on waterside chairs, watching sunlight flicker on the windows. They skip over the awkward facts and dive straight into endless conversation, yet discover that quiet pauses often say the most.

The song captures that delicious in-between moment: it is not quite summer, but it is full of promise. As they journey toward later, they wonder if this revived spark will survive once the real heat of summer arrives. Nostalgia, curiosity, and cautious hope all mix together, turning a simple catch-up into a heartfelt road trip toward whatever comes next.
