“On My Way Home” was originally...
[Verse 1: Scott]
All of my life been running
Paying the price for living
How do the young survive?
We're never satisfied
Only if I could listen
[Pre-Chorus: Scott, Scott and Kirstin, All]
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?
[Chorus: Scott and Kirstin and Mitch]
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
I'm on my way, I'm on my way
In the middle of the night
I've been running, running, running
And I'm on my way (I'm on my way)
Home (I'm on my way)
[Verse 2: Scott]
All that implies 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
[Pre-Chorus]
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?
[Chorus]
I'm on my way, I'm on my way [x2]
In the middle of the night
I've been running, running, running
And I'm on my way (I'm on my way)
Home (I'm on my way)
[Bridge]
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)
Where will I run to?
Lights go down (All my life) (On my way)
Where will I hide (I've been running, running, running)
[Pre-Chorus]
When the lights go down in the middle of the night
(All my life I've been running, running, running)
Where will I run to?
When the lights go down in the middle of the night
(All my life)
Where will I hide?
[Chorus]
I'm on my way, I'm on my way [x2]
In the middle of the night
I've been running, running, running
And I'm on my way (I'm on my way)
Home (I'm on my way)
[Outro]
All my life I've been running, running
And I'm on my way
All my life I've been running

Yes, “On My Way Home” was originally written by the British alternative rock band Coldplay for their seventh studio album, A Head Full of Dreams, but was given to Pentatonix and left off the final track list.
This is a song that I think has such a strong message. I mean, for us what it means is that, you know, we’re young people, we’re never satisfied, we’re chasing our dreams, but we have to find something that truly grounds us.
