Verse 1
GDGD
The summer's over, this town is closing.
GDAD
They're waving people out of the ocean.

We had the feeling like we were floating.
GDAD
We never noticed where time was going.
GDGD
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.
GDAD
You're empty-handed and heavy-hearted.
Chorus
GBm
But just remember on the way home, (Oooh ooh ooh)

That you were never meant to feel alone.
GDGD
It takes a little while, but you'll be fine,

Another good time coming down the line.
