On The Way Home

The summer's over, this town is closing

They're waving people out of the ocean

We have the feeling like we were floating

We never noticed where time was going

Do you remember when we first got here?

The days were longer; the nights were hot here

Now, it's September; the engine's started

You're empty-handed and heavy-hearted

But just remember on the way home (ooh ooh ooh)

That you were never meant to feel alone.

It takes a little while, but you'd be fine:

Another good time coming down the line.

You'll go back to love that's waiting.

I'll unpack in a rented room.

How's that life you swear you're hating?

Grass is greener: that makes two

But just remember on the way home (ooh ooh ooh)

That you were never meant to feel alone

Just look me up; get back on the bus

I'll see you next week if you need my trust

Life ain't short, but it sure is small

You get forever but nobody at all

Life ain't short, but it sure is small

You get forever but nobody at all

It don't come often, and it don't stay long

(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

But just remember on the way home (ooh ooh ooh)

That you don't ever have to feel alone

Just stay on the run; get off the grid

Hide yourself out like you know that I did

And if you might find that your running is done

A little bit of Heaven never hurt no one
