Where You Are
The House Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here's someone now whose got the muscle.
His steady hand could move a mountain.
Expert in bed,
But come on now,
There must be something missing.
That golden one leads a double life
You'll find out.
Tell me,

But I don't know where you go
Do you climb into space
To the world where you live,
To the world where you live.

So here we lie against each other
These four walls can never hold us
We're looking for wide open spaces
High above the kitchen
And we're strangers here
On our way to some other place

But I don't know where you go
Do you climb into space
To the world where you live,
To the world where you live.

When friends come round
You might remember and be sad
Behind their eyes is unfamiliar

But I don't know where you go
Do you climb into space




To the world where you live,
To the world where you live.

Overall Meaning

The House's song "Where You Are" tells the story of a relationship where one person feels disconnected from the other. The first verse details the partner's apparent strengths - they have "muscle," a "steady hand," and are an "expert in bed" - yet the singer notes that "there must be something missing." The second verse implies that the couple is living in close quarters but not connecting emotionally, as they long for "wide open spaces" and are "strangers" to each other. The chorus repeats the question, "But I don't know where you go / Do you climb into space / To the world where you live, / To the world where you live," highlighting the sense of distance and disconnection between the partners.


The lyrics suggest that the couple's relationship is strained by a lack of emotional intimacy and understanding. The partner's strengths are not enough to bridge that gap, and the singer is left feeling unsure of where their partner truly resides emotionally. The reference to "wide open spaces" implies that they may crave more freedom or independence, and the repetition of the chorus begs for an answer that may never come. Overall, the song conveys a sense of longing and uncertainty in a relationship that may be better suited to "some other place."
