John Mayer On the Way Home lyrics

The summer's over
This time 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 started
You're empty handed
And heavy hearted

But just remember on the way home
(ohhhooohoo)
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
(ohhhooohoo)
That you were never meant to feel alone

But 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

They don't come often and they don't stay long

(ohhooohoo)

But just remember on the way home
(ohhhooohoo)
That you don't ever have to feel alone

But just stay on the run
Get off the grid
And hide yourself out like you know I did
And if you might find that your running is done
A little bit of heaven never hurt no one
