On Our Way Home

Empire of the Sun

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
True hearts rely on never getting lost in the night
This million lights'll lead us on the way
The more we follow them we fall in love
So get us home

[Pre-Chorus]
Say what you mean
Do what you will
Brother you'll reach inside yourself tonight

[Chorus]
Oh this is where we
Oh this is where we
Oh this is where we begin
On our way home

[Verse 2]
True hearts will wipe away the tear from your eyes
And there should be no more mourning of the pain
The former things have passed away beyond
So get us home

[Pre-Chorus]
Say what you mean
Do what you will
Brother you'll reach inside yourself tonight
[Chorus]
Oh this is where we
Oh this is where we
Oh this is where we begin
On our way home
Oh this is where we
Oh this is where we
Oh this is where we begin
On our way home

[Bridge]
On our way home, way home
On our way home, way home
On our way home
On our way home, way home
On our way
On our way home, way home

[Chorus]
Oh this is where we
Oh this is where we
Oh this is where we begin
On our way home
Oh this is where we
Oh this is where we
Oh this is where we begin
On our way home
[Outro]
On our way home, way home
On our way home, way home
On our way home
On our way home, way home
On our way
On our way home, way homeEmbed
