On The Way Home lyrics

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 starting

You're empty-handed and heavy-hearted

But just remember on the way home

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

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

Life isn't short, but it sure is small

You get forever but nobody at all

Life isn'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

But just remember on the way home

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 you're running is done

A little bit of Heaven never hurt no one
