Hitchhiker
Omi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

All my life
I spent chasing the pretty lights and how they shine
But they never kept me warm
How many times did I once let love come and go?
Was it my pride that made me run so far?

Was it your voice that called me when I was at my low?
Was it your love that warmed me? I guess tonight I'll know

'Cause in my heart, I was a hitchhicker
'Til I found you
I found a home I never wanna leave
'Cause in my heart, I was a hitchhicker
This what I choose
I found a home I never wanna leave
I was a hitchhicker
I was a hitchhicker
'Til I found you
I was a hitchhicker

Am I too messed up
Or is there time for me to change?
Where was my luck
When I needed it the most?
But then you showed up
And for the first time I heard me say
Can I stay? Can I stay a little longer with you?

Was it your voice that called me
When I was at my low?
Was it your love that warmed me?
I guess tonight I'll know

'Cause in my heart, I was a hitchhicker
'Til I found you
I found a home I never wanna leave
'Cause in my heart, I was a hitchhicker
This what I choose
I found a home I never wanna leave
I was a hitchhicker
'Til I found you
I was a hitchhicker

Was it your voice that called me
when I was at my low?
Was it your love that warmed me?
I guess tonight I'll know

'Cause in my heart, I was a hitchhicker
'Til I found you
I found a home I never wanna leave
'Cause in my heart, I was a hitchhicker
This what I choose
I found a home I never wanna leave
'Cause in my heart, I was a hitchhicker
'Til I found you
I found a home I never wanna leave
'Cause in my heart, I was a hitchhicker
This what I choose
I found a home I never wanna leave
