Lyrics of On the Way Home - John Mayer
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 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
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 doesn't come often, and it doesn'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 hurts no one
