Where We Belong
Passion Pit/Musicfire.in Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's gotten cold in here
But asylum warmth draws near
And with a gentle touch of these burdens
And such fears are wiped clear
Who says you ought to stay?
How's this the easier way?
It's far from giving up
Cowards never say enough is enough

And then I'm lifted up
Out of the cribs and towel
The bath begins to drain
And from the floor he prays away
All my pain

Who says that God exists?
We can't see icons or myths, but
Well, I believe in you
Do you believe in me, too?
Get me out

All the things you can't control
Should never destroy the love one holds
I found a place
I found a place
I found a place where we belong

Never be up and down, be in between the whitest clouds
Never did I ever think I'd buy up all the things I've found




'Cause how you keep on living when you're always but a million down
All I've ever wanted was to be happy and make you proud

First couple of seconds made me think i was being rick-rolled XD

@CharlieJindra

the crappy quality actually adds to the endearing quality of the song. sounds like an old cassette youd find in an attic. beautiful

@Eragarev

Man, I knew I heard Billy Ocean's Caribbean Queen in The Reeling. This song has the same intro as Ocean's song, too, and this became The Reeling. The connections are strong. Looks like Passion Pit has their inspirations, too.
