This Must Be the Place
Kishi Bashi Lyrics

Home is where I want to be
I feel most at ease when I'm in a place I'm familiar with

Pick me up and turn me 'round
Help me see things from different angles, give me a new perspective

I feel numb, born with a weak heart
I'm often desensitized to the world, and I'm not the strongest emotionally

So I guess I must be having fun
But sometimes it feels easier to just go with the flow and enjoy myself

The less we say about it the better
It's best not to dwell on certain topics or bring attention to them

Make it up as we go 'long
Life is unpredictable and we have to adapt along the way

Feet on the ground, head in the sky
We have to stay grounded while also being open to new possibilities

It's okay, I know nothing wrong, nothing
Despite any challenges, everything will work out okay in the end

Hey oh, you got plenty of time
Don't rush, there's no need to worry, there will always be time

Hey oh, you got light in your eyes
You have a spark and a positive energy

And you're standing here beside me
I'm grateful for your companionship

I love the passing of time
Life has ups and downs, but it's all worth experiencing

Never for money, always for love
I prioritize love and human connections over material gains

Cover up and say goodnight, say goodnight
It's time to go to bed now, we'll see each other again in the morning

But I guess I'm already there
Even though I long to be home, this current moment feels just as special and comforting

I come home, she lifted up her wings
My loved one welcomes me with open arms

I guess that this must be the place
I realize that this is exactly where I'm meant to be

I can tell one from another
I can differentiate between different things and people

Did I find you, or you find me?
I'm not sure if our paths crossed intentionally or by coincidence

There was a time before we were born
Our existence is a result of a complex series of events and circumstances

If someone asks, this is where I'll be, where I'll be
I have a strong sense of belonging in this moment and place, and it would be hard to find me anywhere else

Hey oh, drifting in and out
Sometimes I'm present, and other times I'm lost in thought

Hey oh, sing into my mouth
Share your voice and your energy, let me feel alive

Out of all those kinds of people
There are so many different types of humans, yet you stand out to me

You got a face with a view
Your face is unique and memorable, and reflects your perspective on the world

I'm just an animal looking for a home
I'm a living being with basic needs and a desire for comfort and safety

Share the same space for a minute or two
Even brief moments of connection and shared experience are meaningful

And you'll love me 'til my heart stops
I'm confident that our connection is strong and will last a lifetime

Love me 'til I'm dead
I value deep and lasting love, that goes beyond our physical existence

Eyes that light up
Your eyes show excitement and enthusiasm

Eyes look through you
Your gaze is intense and penetrating

Cover up the blank spots
I try to conceal my insecurities and doubts

Hit me on the head, ah, ooh
This outburst is a reaction to feeling overwhelmed and confused

Ah, ooh
These sounds convey a mixture of emotions, including surprise, pain, and joy
