The summer’s over
This town is closin’
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

Chorus:

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
