Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We'll find a place of hope
Just hold on to me
Just hold on to me
Walk tight, one line
You're wanted this time
There's no one to blame
(Come on) And I'm right on time
(My love) And the birds keep singing
And you're right on line
And the bells keep ringing
(Come on) And the battle is won
(My love) And the planes keep winging
And I'm right on time
One day they'll be a place for us (And the girl keeps singing)
I walk and I wade
Through full lands and lonely
I stumble, I stumble
With you I wait
To be born again
With love comes the day
Just hold on to me
(Come on) And I'm right on time
(My love) And the birds keep singing
And you're right on line
One day they'll be a place for us (And the bells keep ringing)
(Come on) And the battle is won
(My love) And the planes keep winging
And I'm right on time
One day they'll be a place for us (And the girl keeps singing)
Now is the time
To follow through
To read the signs
Now the message sent
Let's bring it to it's final end
(Come on) And I'm right on time
(My love) And the birds keep singing
And you're right on line
One day they'll be a place for us (And the bells keep ringing)
(Come on) And the battle is won
(My love) And the planes keep winging
And I'm right on time
One day they'll be a place for us (And the girl keeps singing)
(Come on) And I'm right on time
(My love) And the birds keep singing
And you're right on line
One day they'll be a place for us (And the bells keep ringing)
(Come on) And the battle is won
(My love) And the planes keep winging
And I'm right on time
One day they'll be a place for us (And the girl keeps singing)
(Come on) One
(My love) day
I (One day they'll be a place for us)
Know
(Come on) They'll be
(My love) A place
Called (One day they'll be a place for us)

The lyrics of PJ Harvey's "A Place Called Home" speak to the hope for a better future, despite the challenges of the present. The lines "One day I know / We'll find a place of hope / Just hold on to me / Just hold on to me" are a reassuring message of strength and perseverance in the face of uncertainty. The song employs imagery of walking a tightrope or stumbling through difficult terrain, but the refrain of "just hold on to me" offers a lifeline of support and love.
The second verse, "I walk and I wade / Through full lands and lonely / I stumble, I stumble / With you I wait / To be born again / With love comes the day / Just hold on to me," reinforces the idea that love can be a powerful force for healing and renewal. Despite the challenges and hardships mentioned earlier in the song, there is a sense of faith in the transformative power of love and the possibility of finding a place called home.

One day I know
I have hope that one day we will find a place of happiness
They'll be
There will be
A place
A location or situation
Called
Named
Home
A place where we belong and feel safe and loved
