The Place I Want to Be - Saint Saviour, Badly Drawn Boy

Old town seven times erased

Crawled out from the pyre again

This is the place I want to be

Is the place I’ll fall

Silkworm spin a thread for me

No waste, nothing left that I don’t need

Yours is the face I want to see

It’s the place I’m warm

And I won’t turn my back on this

Though I never knew that I wanted it

Bough bent beneath my weight

I’m broke in my own kinda way

It’s magical

And I’m allowed

To see it straight

And everything’s clear

I’m older now

It thawed me out

It’s in my wake

This is the place I want to be

It’s the place I’m yours

This is the pain I longed to feel

You’re the place I’m home

And I won’t turn my back on this
