On The Way Home

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] [Bridge] 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 [Outro] 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
