A Place We Knew - Dean Lewis

Over and over I keep going over the world we knew Once when you walked beside me That inconceivable, that unbelievable world we knew When we two were in love And every bright neon sign turned into stars And the sun and the moon seemed to be ours Each road that we took turned into gold But the dream was too much for you to hold Now over and over I keep going over the world we knew Days when you used to love me And every bright neon sign turned into stars And the sun and the moon seemed to be ours Each road that we took, it turned into gold But the dream was too much for you to hold Now over and over I keep going over the world we knew Days when you used to love me Over and over I keep going over the world we knew

I was a dreamer And you were a senior And you could drive And I wanted to fly We'd park that thing Down, on a dead-end street Burned a lot more than gasoline You and me We were two kids, riding a love drunk high Yeah, we thought we could climb the Citgo sign Same side of the same old record Too busy makin' out to ever make it to the other side Cheap liquor someone's older brother bought Sipping water bottles with the labels off Wе were young, we wеre dumb, we were us We were love before we knew too much We were wide-eyed And we were blind (And we were blind) Thought love like that could last a couple lifetimes (Lifetimes) Skipping last class Laughing like a pair of fools Only doing things we weren't supposed to do (Supposed to do) Me and you We were two kids, riding a love drunk high Yeah, we thought we could climb the Citgo sign Same side of the same old record Too busy makin' out to ever make it to the other side Cheap liquor someone's older brother bought Sipping water bottles with the labels off We were young, we were dumb, we were us We were love before we knew too much That hearts break And people change (And people change) And you can try to But you can't get back to Two kids, riding a love drunk high Thought they could climb the Citgo sign Same side of the same old record Too busy makin' out to ever make it to the other side Cheap liquor someone's older brother bought Sipping water bottles with the labels off We were young, we were dumb, we were us We were love before we knew too much I was a dreamer And you were a senior And you could drive And I wanted to fly

Saturday night, living the dream Ordering drinks with your brother's ID Pretending we like someone's girlfriends band Put on our boots, carry our heels Stumbling home over the field Gin from a bottle stolen from her dad You smoke to choke the feeling 'Til the walls don't need a ceiling All we talk about is leaving All that I know is No matter how far away This is the place we were made I know every streetlight And maybe the colors will fade This is the place we were made By the late nights and fires on the beach Made by the small town secrets we'd keep All that I know is No matter how far away This is the place we were made Painting our face, straighten my hair Wait for the bus, take us somewhere Anywhere, as far away from home We're playing poker down in a shed Talking about boys, now we call ex Freezing cold and we don't even know You smoke to choke the feeling 'Til the walls don't need a ceiling All we talk about is leaving All that I know is No matter how far away This is the place we were made I know every streetlight And maybe the colors will fade This is the place we were made By the late nights and fires on the beach Made by the small town secrets we'd keep All that I know is No matter how far away This is the place we were made Ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh ooh All that I know is No matter how far away This is the place we were made I know every streetlight Maybe the colors will fade This is the place we were made By the late nights and fires on the beach Made by the small town secrets we'd keep All that I know is No matter how far away This is the place we were made

I'm finding a place that warms my heart again And keeping on, as I look out for you All this talk of love is bringing me to you I'm finding a place that warms my heart again I'm finding a space that breaks the walls again It's the only mistake we can make And me move around to bring it back to one I'm finding a place that warms my heart again Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh (I'm finding a-) Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh I'm finding a place that warms my heart again And keeping on as I look out for you All this talk of love is me bringing me to you I'm finding a place that warms my heart again

What if I can't make a believer out of you? What if it's easier to change my point of view? We built this home with sticks and stones and woke up too Once dead and gone, can we revive this bloodied feud? Been plotting a grand escape Trying to leave the state How fickle a mental state Set fire to a sacred place Where were you last night? Where were you last night? Jumped on a red eye The tears have dried But you stayed here on my mind Where were you last night? Where were you last night? Maybe it's better if we run our separate ways Maybe tomorrow will look better than yesterday Spent the night in the dark, count the minutes, hold my pride Mistook a picture of you for the real thing by my side Been plotting a grand escape Trying to leave the state How fickle a mental state Fire set to once a sacred place Where were you last night? Where were you last night? Jumped on a red eye The tears have dried But you stayed here on my mind Where were you last night? Where were you last night? (Where were you? where were you?) Where were you last night? Where were you last night? Jumped on a red eye The tears have dried Where were you last night? Where were you last night?

Yeah, uh, yeah, ah-ah, ah Yeah, yeah, ah-ah, ah Is there a place where I can hide away? Red lips, french kiss, my worries all away There must be a sweeter place We can sugarcoat the taste Sweeter place There must be a sweeter Place where I can (Ooh) You'll really wanna know where I've been all this time So lemme tell ya (Ooh) Got two feet on the ground and felt what real is like What it was like Livin' out of the scene, out in the water Learnin' to breathe Up in the clouds, far from the crowds I can't believe I can be loud Holdin' hands with the darkness and knowin' my heart is allowed (Allowed) Is there a place where I can hide away? Red lips, french kiss, my worries all away There must be a sweeter place We can sugarcoat the taste Sweeter place There must be a sweeter Place where I can Place where I can As I fantasize So much to see, I'm in paradise Oh, I, always seems I'm new inside Deep, deep down in me, I lift up, baby Born to fly, oh, I Now see, how could it be? We would find our way, we'll find the things we see, ooh-wee You see, I'm mesmerized This is just for me and I am cuttin' ties, goodbye Hmm Is there a place where I can hide away? (Hide away) Red lips, french kiss, my worries all away (All away) There must be a sweeter place We can sugarcoat the taste Sweeter place There must be a sweeter Place where I can Place where I can Have no fear (No fear) Heaven is near (Oh), ooh-woah Head is so clear (So clear) Our sweeter place, my sweeter place Have no fear (No fear) Heaven is near (Oh), ooh-woah Head is so clear (So clear) My sweeter place, my sweeter place Is there a place where I can hide away? (Hide away) Red lips, french kiss, my worries all away (All away) There must be a sweeter place We can sugarcoat the taste Sweeter place There must be a sweeter Place where I can

One, two, three Why are you hanging on so tight To the rope that I'm hanging from? Off this island, this was an escape plan (this was an escape plan) Carefully timed it, so let me go And dive into the waves below Who tends the orchards? Who fixes up the gables? Emotional torture from the head of your high table Who fetches the water from the rocky mountain spring? And walk back down again to feel your words and their sharp sting And I'm getting fucking tired The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died, would that be the worst thing? For somebody I thought was my saviour You sure make me do a whole lot of labour The calloused skin on my hands is cracking If our love ended, would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber You make me do too much labour You make me do too much labour Apologies from my tongue, and never yours Busy lapping from flowing cup and stabbing with your fork I know you're a smart man (I know you're a smart man), and weaponise The false incompetence, it's dominance under a guise If we had a daughter, I'd watch and could not save her The emotional torture, from the head of your high table She'd do what you taught her, she'd meet the same cruel fate So now I've gotta run, so I can undo this mistake At least I've gotta try The capillaries in my eyes are bursting If our love died, would that be the worst thing? For somebody I thought was my saviour You sure make me do a whole lot of labour The calloused skin on my hands is cracking If our love ends, would that be a bad thing? And the silence haunts our bed chamber You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid Nymph then a virgin, nurse then a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger 24-7, baby machine So he can live out his picket fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid Nymph then virgin, nurse and a servant Just an appendage, live to attend him So that he never lifts a finger 24-7, baby machine So he can live out his picket fence dreams It's not an act of love if you make her You make me do too much labour All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid (The capillaries in my eyes are bursting) Nymph then virgin, nurse and a servant (If our love died, would that be the worst thing?) Just an appendage, live to attend him (For somebody I thought was my saviour) So that he never lifts a finger (You sure make me do a whole lot of labour) 24-7, baby machine (The calloused skin on my hands is crackin') So he can live out his picket fence dreams (If our love ends, would that be a bad thing?) It's not an act of love if you make her (And the silence haunts our bed chamber) You make me do too much labour
