Lyrics

[00:10.66] The summer's over, this town is closing.
[00:15.29] They're waving people out of the ocean.
[00:20.08] We have the feeling like we were floating.
[00:24.83] We never noticed where time was going.
[00:29.50]
[00:35.05] Do you remember when we first got here?
[00:39.44] The days were longer; the nights were hot here.
[00:44.59] Now, it's September; the engine's started.
[00:49.42] You're empty-handed and heavy-hearted.
[00:54.65]
[00:57.03] But just remember on the way home (ooh ooh ooh)
[01:06.76] That you were never meant to feel alone.
[01:12.64] It takes a little while, but you'd be fine:
[01:14.94] Another good time coming down the line.
[01:17.15]
[01:29.42] You'll go back to love that's waiting.
[01:33.89] I'll unpack in a rented room.
[01:38.72] How's that life you swear you're hating?
[01:43.63] Grass is greener: that makes two.
[01:48.34]
[01:51.56] But just remember on the way home (ooh ooh ooh)
[02:01.30] That you were never meant to feel alone.
[02:07.02] Just look me up; get back on the bus.
[02:09.43] I'll see you next week if you need my trust.
[02:12.77]
[02:21.54] Life ain't short, but it sure is small.
[02:23.64] You get forever but nobody at all.
[02:26.50]
[02:31.05] Life ain't short, but it sure is small.
[02:33.27] You get forever but nobody at all.
[02:36.85]
[02:40.64] It don't come often, and it don't stay long.
[02:46.33] (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
[02:51.28]
[03:07.12] But just remember on the way home (ooh ooh ooh)
[03:16.62] That you don't ever have to feel alone.
[03:22.29] Just stay on the run; get off the grid.
[03:24.88] Hide yourself out like you know that I did,
[03:27.38] And if you might find that your running is done,
[03:29.39] A little bit of Heaven never hurt no one.
[03:32.53]
