On the Way Home

The summer's over, this town is closing They're waving people out of the ocean We had 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 That you were never meant to feel alone It takes a little while, but you'll be fine Another good time comin' 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 That you were never meant to feel alone You just look me up, get back on the bus I'll see you next week if you're needin' 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 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 runnin' is done A little bit of heaven never hurt no one
