A Place
St-Low Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh how I wish that it could talk back
I'd drive right off the earth to find you
If it meant that I could see you tonight
And I know you don't belong (know you don't belong)
Know you don't belong to anyone
No you can't be tamed love, and
Maybe I was wrong (maybe I was wrong)
But you feel like the sun on my face
So can we close the space between us now
It's the distance we don't need (hey)
Yeah, you're everything I love about
The things I hate in me (hey)
So come on, come on, come over now and
Fix me with your grace
'Cause I'm not too far and you're my favorite place
I saw your face in the fire again
I touched the flames and burned down everything
I hear the sirens west of 8th now
Wonder if you're hearin' them too
And I know you don't belong (know you don't belong)
Know you don't belong to anyone
No you can't be tamed love
Maybe I was wrong (maybe I was wrong)
Maybe I was wrong for this
But you feel like the perfect escape now
(Just like the sun on my face)
So can we close the space between us now
It's the distance we don't need (hey)
Yeah, you're everything I love about
The things I hate in me (hey)
So come on, come on, come over now and
Fix me with your grace
'Cause I'm not too far and you're my favorite place
(Hey, hey, hey, hey)
So come on, come on, come over now and
Fix me with your grace
'Cause I'm not too far and you're my favorite place

I saw your face in a photograph
I caught a glimpse of your face in a picture
Oh how I wish that it could talk back
I desperately desire for that image to come alive and communicate with me
I'd drive right off the earth to find you
I am willing to go to extreme lengths, even leave this world, to locate you
If it meant that I could see you tonight
As long as it guarantees the chance to see you this evening
And I know you don't belong (know you don't belong)
I am aware that you don't possess a sense of belonging
Know you don't belong to anyone
You do not belong to anyone in particular
No you can't be tamed love, and
No, it is impossible to control your untamed nature, my love
Maybe I was wrong (maybe I was wrong)
Perhaps I made a mistake in judgment
Maybe I was wrong for this
Possibly, I made an error in pursuing this course of action
But you feel like the sun on my face
Yet, being with you provides the same warmth and comfort as basking in the sun
So can we close the space between us now
Can we eliminate the physical and emotional distance that separates us at this moment?
It's the distance we don't need (hey)
This distance is unnecessary and unwanted
Yeah, you're everything I love about
You embody all the aspects that I adore
The things I hate in me (hey)
Even the traits I despise within myself
So come on, come on, come over now and
Therefore, please come to me now and
Fix me with your grace
Restore me with your elegance and beauty
'Cause I'm not too far and you're my favorite place
Because I am not distant, and being with you brings me the utmost joy
I saw your face in the fire again
Once again, I glimpsed your face in the flames
I touched the flames and burned down everything
I reached out and the fire consumed everything in its path
I hear the sirens west of 8th now
I now perceive the sound of sirens coming from the western side of 8th street
Wonder if you're hearin' them too
I wonder if you are also hearing those sirens
So come on, come on, come over now and
Therefore, please come to me now and
Fix me with your grace
Restore me with your elegance and beauty
'Cause I'm not too far and you're my favorite place
Because I am not distant, and being with you brings me the utmost joy
So come on, come on, come over now and
Therefore, please come to me now and
Fix me with your grace
Restore me with your elegance and beauty
'Cause I'm not too far and you're my favorite place
Because I am not distant, and being with you brings me the utmost joy

Blame it all on my roots
I showed up in boots
And ruined your black tie affair
The last one to know
The last one to show
I was the last one
You thought you'd see there
And I saw the surprise
And the fear in his eyes
When I took his glass of champagne
And I toasted you
Said, honey, we may be through
But you'll never hear me complain
'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places
Well, I guess I was wrong
I just don't belong
But then, I've been there before
Everything's all right
I'll just say goodnight
And I'll show myself to the door
Hey, I didn't mean
To cause a big scene
Just give me an hour and then
Well, I'll be as high
As that ivory tower
That you're livin' in
'Cause I've got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns
And the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places
'Cause I got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
Well, I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I got friends in low places
'Cause I got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away
And I'll be okay
Well, I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I got friends in low places
'Cause I got friends in low places
Where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away...

Don’t matter how off key you are or just can’t sing this song was made to be sung sober or drunk no matter a bar becomes a family once this song comes on
Chris Mckinney
I'm going to work after a good buzz!!
Josh Molina
I can confirm this is true. Last night I took my younger brother on a bar crawl for his 21st birthday and at the third bar we went to it was Karaoke night and a gal came up on stage and started belting this with all of us jumping in and singing along
Mackey Dirk
In college me and my friends once led a crowded bar in singing this on on the Fourth of July....what a night!
Joel Billy
Seen a guy in a bar actually start singing the first lines of this song to an ex who was on a night out with her new boyfriend and her friends, came up to him giving him shit and being abusive to him. By the time he got to the chorus his friends and the whole bar joined in and she stormed out fucked off. One of the most legendary things I've ever seen.

Thank you for sharing that story. I needed that lmfao
Matt Furry
One of the greatest kick starts to all of the break up songs that flooded the music industry today. Todays music puts people down but not this one. Hey no hard feelings no name calling just a simple goodbye and adjusting to the wind as my Eagle wings fly!
daniel spivey
That's brilliant!!!
Connor
i’m almost exclusively a metalhead, but goddamn if this isn’t one of the best sing along songs
Chris Mckinney
I have a friend who hates country but loves this song!
