Hold on to me as we go
As we roll down this unfamiliar road
And although this wave (Wave) is stringing us along
Just know you're not alone
'Cause I'm gonna make this place your home
As we roll down this unfamiliar road
And although this wave (Wave) is stringing us along
Just know you're not alone
'Cause I'm gonna make this place your home

I'm gonna make these tropes your home:
- "Double, Double" Title: "Gone Gone Gone".
- Face on the Cover: The cover of The World from the Side of the Moon is a close up of him holding his guitar.
- The Last DJ: He was rather notable for repeatedly ignoring the advice he was given during American Idol—not only from Jimmy Lovine, who told him to stop bringing his guitar out on stage, but also from famed fashion designer Tommy Hilfiger who was a wardrobe consultant for the show that season.
- Repetitive Name: Besides his name there's also "Gone Gone Gone".
- You Are Not Alone: The singer reassures his lover this in "Home".
Just know you are not alone, because I'm gonna make this place your home.
- And I would do it for you, for you
Baby, I'm not moving on
I'll love you long after you're gone
For you, for you
You will never sleep alone
I'll love you long after you're gone
And long after you're gone, gone, gone
