This Is the Place
The Tribe Lyrics

Do you believe we could start again
Asking if it's possible to go back to the way things were

Be the way we were, we used to be then
Talking about returning to a past state of happiness and contentment

Am I wrong in thinking we could turn back the clock
Wondering if it's foolish to hope for a second chance with lost love

And get back what was, get back what is lost, oh no
Wanting to regain what was once had, but feeling like it might be impossible

I never knew how much I really needed you too
Realizing the depth of one's own feelings after it's too late

And now you're gone and it's too late 'cause I've lost you
Expressing regret and the painful reality of losing a loved one

This is the place where we laughed
Reflecting on a specific time and place of joy and happiness shared with someone

Where we danced
Recalling a moment of physical connection and intimacy

Where we walked in the rain
Remembering a shared experience and feeling of vulnerability

Now it's not the same
Feeling the weight of loss and nostalgia for what was once had

This is the place where you cried
Thinking of a moment of vulnerability and sadness shared with someone

And I wiped all the tears from your face
Acting as a source of comfort and support for a loved one

Love has taken a hold over me
Describing the all-consuming feeling of being in love

I was mesmerized, but now I can see
Acknowledging the intensity of a past love, but also recognizing the need to move on

And I remember when we were on fire
Recalling a passionate and intense time in the relationship

When you told me how you've never been higher, so high
Feeling the warmth of affection and admiration from a partner

I really wanna hear you call my name
Desiring a rekindling of a past relationship and feeling a yearning for the familiarity of another person

And tell myself that we can do it again
Holding onto hope for a second chance with lost love

It should be really easy, not the end
Believing that things should be simple and straightforward in matters of the heart

We were made for each other
Believing in the concept of soulmates and feeling destined to be with another person

A friend and a lover
Describing the intertwining of friendship and romance in a relationship

I really wanna lose myself in you
Craving the security and intimacy of being close to another person

'Cause no-one else could love you the way that I do
Believing that one's own love is unique and special, and no one else could compare

And every time I find somebody new
Acknowledging that new relationships are possible, but will never be the same as what was shared with someone in the past

That's when I discover
Realizing a truth about love

There's nobody other, other than you
Feeling an unmatchable connection with someone and believing that no one else could compare or replace them

This is the place where we laughed
Repeating the earlier sentiment, solidifying the importance of shared moments in a specific place

Where we danced
Repeating another shared, intimate moment

Where we walked in the rain
Repeating another moment of vulnerability

Now it's not the same
Restating the feeling that things have changed and cannot be returned to how they were

This is the place where you cried
Repeating the earlier sentiment of remembering a shared moment of sadness and vulnerability

And I wiped all the tears from your face
Repeating the earlier sentiment of being a source of comfort and support for a loved one

This is the place
Tying it all together, highlighting the importance of shared memories and the significance of the past on the present

Do you believe we could start again
Repeating the opening line, framing the entire song as a question, a desire to regain what was once had

Be the way we were, the way we were then
Restating the desire to return to a past state of happiness and contentment
