Pentatonix - On My Way Home Lyrics






All of my life been running
Paying the price for nothing
How do the young survive?
We're never satisfied
Only if I could listen

When the lights go down in the middle of the night, where will I run to?
When the lights go down in the middle of the night, where will I hide?
When the lights go down in the middle of the night, where will I run to?
When the lights go down in the middle of the night, where will I hide?

(Ohohohohoh)
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
(Ohohohohoh)
I'm on my way
I'm on my way

(Ohohohohoh)
In the middle of the night
I'll be running, running, running
(Ohohohohoh)
And I'm on my way (I'm on my way) home
(I'm on my way)

All that imprides of ruin
It's in our design so human
How do the young survive?
(How do the young survive?)
We're never satisfied
(We're never satisfied)
I really wish I could listen

When the lights go down in the middle of the night, where will I run to?
When the lights go down in the middle of the night, where will I hide?

(Ohohohohoh)
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
(Ohohohohoh)
I'm on my way
I'm on my way

(Ohohohohoh)
In the middle of the night
I'll be running, running, running
(Ohohohohoh)
And I'm on my way
(I'm on my way)
Home
(I'm on my way)

Lights go down
Where will I run to?
Lights go down
Where will I hide?

Lights go down
(All my life, I've been running, running, running, oh)
Where will I run to
Lights go down
(All my life, I've been running, running, running, oh)
(On my way)
Where will I hide

When the lights go down in the middle of the night, where will I run to?
When the lights go down in the middle of the night, where will I hide?

(Ohohohohoh)
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
(Ohohohohoh)
I'm on my way
I'm on my way

(Ohohohohoh)
In the middle of the night
I'll be running, running, running
(Ohohohohoh)
And I'm on my way (I'm on my way) home
(I'm on my way)

All my life, I've been running
Running and I'm on my way
All my life, I've been running

Pentatonix On My Way Home Comments
  1. b.... ....

    Nearly 6 years later and I'm still obsessed with this song, I got chills with all the melodies and harmonies and Mitch's 'WOOOAAAHHHHHH's I hope heaven sounds like this 😭😭❤❤❤

  2. B.... ....

    Been too long since there has been a comment on this amazing song! Keep on rocking, you guys are awesome!!

  3. C.... ....

    I'm only here cause I read that Chris Martin actually wrote this song

  4. G.... C....

    Until now I still don't understand why this wasn't promoted as a single.

  5. F.... ....

    I am so glad I found this song again. I remember liking it when it came out and trying to find it after, but youtube is a little bitch and removed every video with the audio in it. Now after five years I have found it again. I am so happy.

  6. Y.... W....

    How the tables have turned. Now regular singers will covers original songs by acapella groups.

  7. F.... ....

    You know what annoys me?
    When people are like "MitchMitchMitch" in every comment. Please note that it is NOT Always about Mitch!
    Now i love him, as I've met him.
    but have you ever heard that Kevin feels left out? It's true. Whenever hes meeting fans and then Mitch/Avi walks out almost EVERYONE abandons him. Don't believe me? Search for the video of everyone leaving him on tumblr.
    Even on superfruit EVERY SINGLE COMMENT is about him. Literally none for Scott.
    Oh and nobody has the best vocals. They all have equally good talent. You'd know that if you were a true fan and didn't pick n choose out who you don't like the most. It's quite fucking rude.
    Now have respect for All band members. Because it is not all about Mitch. Regardless if he's your "queen" or not. Peace.

  8. E.... B....

    Beautiful song sung by beautiful voices!

  33. T.... ....

    This is my favorite! Especially since it's an original!! I can't get this off of repeat. Hope to see them in August!! Been a Pentaholic since the beginning, can't wait for their original album to come out.

  34. E.... C....

    preach mitch slayed the scene

  35. A.... O....

    Best. Song. Ever.

  36. n.... ....

    @Connor Mann  yep.

  37. T.... P....

    Me: I'll just listen to it one more time.
    *has it on repay for a week*

  38. B.... ....

    Oh shit. This isn't a cover is it?

    B.... ....

    @***** Very. One of my favourite Pentatonix songs.

    B.... ....

    @BurningFlameMC no its not, its an original

    B.... ....

    @Mihai SAVU I know, if you haven't read the previous comment ^^

    B.... ....

    Nope, but I just found out this was written by Coldplay, so, even tho is original, you can clearly tell that the melodies and lyrics are totally Coldplay's

  39. b.... ....

    Wish i could give this song more likes

    INCREDIBLE

  40. h.... Y....

    Can we establish this as the best song ever! A show af hands people.

  41. A.... ....

    :( When are they going to make a music video for this!

  42. A.... ....

    I know I'm a bit late to Pentatonix but I am absolutely obsessed! I love! Ahh!!....I've got this song in repeat, can't get enough of it <3

  43. T.... C....

    I don't think anyone has said it, sooo, Kevin is absolutely perfect in this just saying :)

    T.... C....

    @Antea Chintoh Kevin is a fucking beast and needs so much more recognition. When I meet them someday he'll be the first one I run and bearhug. Even if it means brushing past Avi.

    T.... C....

    Is it just me or in their original album there should be a song in which Kevin needs takes the lead!! Mitch in see through, Kirstie in rather be, Avi in standing by and Scott has done it in wayy too many songs including this one. Soo its about time Kevin slays it on the lead and has his moment!

    T.... C....

    @Rebecca Carmichael I've heard Kevin gives the best hugs!

    T.... C....

    Then I'm pumped! I've been told I'm a great hugger so it's bound to be an event for the ages.

    T.... C....

    @Antea Chintoh I had a dream that I got an autograph and a hug from each of them (Avi went crazy and started running around, but that's not relevant) and I was so sad because I really wanted a hug from all of them in real life.

  44. h.... t....

    If they make a video, it should clips/pictures of their On My Way Home tour, would be so good

  45. M.... P....

    I can sing like anyone of them

  46. C.... G....

    When the lights go down in the middle of the night!!!!

    C.... G....

    @Cynthia Hyatt Gomez Where will I run toooooo!!!!

    C.... G....

    When the lights go down in thr middle of the night, where will I hide????!!

    C.... G....

    I'm on my waaayyyy!!!

  47. Q.... B....

    R.... ....

    +CatCode Type repeat after the word youtube in the web link, you will thank me later

    R.... ....

    +CatCode So me!! I've literally had this song on repeat for over 2 hours!! I know all the parts, and sing along now! XD mitch's part in this is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

  55. S.... ....

    Anybody got some songs that have the same vibe as this ? Thanks in advance.

  56. J.... W....

    This is one of their original songs...love it!

  57. R.... V....

    Mitch is hauntingly beautiful is this song !!

  58. C.... G....

    Ii am so in love with this song.......this song is my weekly obsession i've been singing this for the entire week

  59. R.... ....

    THIS IS SO GOOD!

  60. K.... K....

    saw this live in Toronto and they split us into 3 separate parts aND I CRIED LIKE A LITTLE BABY

    K.... K....

    @Kenzie Kelly They did that in Hershypark, PA too! I sang Scott, Kirstie, and Mitch's parts although I was in the section who sang Mitch's part :D

    K.... K....

    I saw it in homdel nj
    I got the no words part it is awesome

    K.... K....

    @Gabriella Athena OMG YOUR LUCKY!

    K.... K....

    @Kenzie Kelly SAME I saw this in michigan and literally i was like YAS

    K.... K....

    +Simtastical I was in holmdel too! I got the chorus part which was team Scott

  61. L.... O....

    I have a good idea for a music video for this. What they should do is they should film them and there concerts and them going around the world for their tour and there own experience going on tour all around the world. It does aslo kinda fit the lyrics and title 'On my way home'.

  62. m.... ....

    Cannot begin to describe how much I love this.

  63. D.... ....

    Was watching a choir do an acceppella to this at an airport....dope

    D.... ....

    @Drenn23 wow, an acapella to this? Stunning. (this is acapella btw)

  64. A.... T....

    i like mich's part in this song, actually mitch has all the good parts in all of pentatonix's songs

    A.... T....

    Kevin has the best parts... He gets to make fresh beats 😎

    A.... T....

    +I love dogs SO TRUE!

    A.... T....

    +jraybay no....hes good but not the best.MITCH SL*YS AND IS THE BEST!

    A.... T....

    @Jasmine King Alarcon Yeah..... First of all I didn't say he was the best. Secondly, without Kevin and Avi they'd be pretty boring and like any other acapella trio. All of them being together is what makes them special. 

    A.... T....

    @ItzyWillAlwaysBeA GamerForLife I'm not rude. You know, you can like purple color, I can like yellow and when someone doesn't like purple and yellow it doesn't mean he is rude.

  65. T.... ....

    I totally love it, ptx is just amazing... just found that song and I'm totally attracted by it :D

  66. K.... A....

    My new favorite!!

  67. C.... F....

    Nice song 👌

  68. L.... H....

    Lyrics chain?
    When the lights go down in the middle of the night...

    L.... H....

    @Lily Hogan Rude.

    L.... H....

    @Hammer Monkey He said it, not me. =_= 

    L.... H....

    @Lily Hogan STRANGER DANGER

    L.... H....

    @Hammer Monkey o3o Naw 

    L.... H....

    @Lily Hogan what

  69. K.... R....

    It's been said before, but Mitch totally kills it on the chorus. And Avi's harmonies--especially during the final chorus--are amazing.

    K.... R....

    Mitch in the chorus gives me goosebumps it's so good. That's the part I sing along with.

  70. F.... M....

    WHY IS THIS NOT ON THE RADIO WTAF

    F.... M....

    I called a radio station and asked if they could play ptx with this song in mind and they were like "sorry no we only play them during Christmastime." And on the outside I said "oh ok" but on the inside I said "damn it! They haven't heard real talent."

  71. F.... M....

    If this is just an example of their originals and written half a year ago, imagine what their original album in spring will sound like. I get ready eyes thinking about it. I can't wait to hear it.

    F.... M....

    Will more than likely have a heart attack when the album comes out

    F.... M....

    @Faith monahan I HATE that they didn't make at least one video of their originals from PTX vol. 3.

  72. A.... C....

    #Everyday_homework_music

  73. S.... ....

    Mitch's "ohhhhs" are so moving.  And Scott kills the verses.  OMG I'm obsessed with this song.

    S.... ....

    YASSS ikr

    S.... ....

    Still obsessed!

  74. c.... c....

    Awesome!! PTX rules!!

  75. L.... ....

    Saw this on TV for the New Year's celebration... was it in NY? Anyway, they actually got the mics right and we could clearly hear Avi's bass. Yas!

  76. R.... P....

    i'm  pretty sure that a quarter of these views are just me playing it over and over

  77. Q.... U....

    i didnt know this was an original... woooooowwww... i love u guys

  78. J.... ....

    acapella is evolving.

    J.... ....

  86. l.... ....

    Amazing!!

  87. A.... M....

    Scott at 1:31 kills me! And Avi's voice is literally flawless! All five of them are perfect and I'm OBSESSED!! Slay

  88. T.... B....

    So amazing guys. thank you for doing what you do. write more of your own stuff! i like the covers. but THIS song, i want a whole album with the elctro vibe, and written by you guys!  Love you guys!!    

  89. M.... O....

  90. T.... G....

    I have to say, their originals are better than their covers on this disc. Such a great sign of their progression and can't wait to hear what they do next. So happy this is an original. Best track on the whole disc...can't stop listening.

  91. a.... ....

    I am so obsessed with this song right now.

    a.... ....

    @Lily Hogan Great. Join me in NY for their show. I have an extra ticket.

    :p

    a.... ....

    @TJ Gingell I wish e_e

    @TJ Gingell Somebody should call the cops....

    a.... ....

    @Hammer Monkey You again? =3=
