This Must Be the Place Lyrics

Home is where I want to be
Pick me up and turn me around
I feel numb, born with a weak heart
I guess I must be having fun

The less we say about it the better
Make it up as we go along
Feet on the ground, head in the sky
It's okay, I know nothing's wrong, nothing

Oh, I have plenty of time
Oh, you got light in your eyes
And you're standing here beside me
I love the passing of time
Never for money, always for love
Cover up and say goodnight, say goodnight

Home, is where I want to be
But I guess I'm already there
I come home, she lifted up her wings
I guess that this must be the place

I can't tell one from the other
Did I find you, or you find me?
There was a time before we were born
If someone asks, this is where I'll be, where I'll be

Oh, we drift in and out
Oh, sing into my mouth
Out of all those kinds of people
You got a face with a view

I'm just an animal looking for a home and
Share the same space for a minute or two
And you love me 'til my heart stops
Love me 'til I'm dead

Eyes that light up
Eyes look through you
Cover up the blank spots
Hit me on the head I got, ooh

What is the Meaning of This Must Be the Place?

David Byrne's introspective lyrics explore themes of belonging, love, and existential contentment. The song juxtaposes feelings of disorientation ("I feel numb") with a profound sense of connection and homecoming ("Home is where I want to be"). It suggests that true fulfillment comes not from material wealth but from genuine human relationships ("Never for money, always for love"). The recurring imagery of light in the eyes symbolizes clarity and emotional warmth, while the line "I'm just an animal looking for a home" underscores a universal quest for stability and companionship. Ultimately, it portrays love as a grounding force that provides meaning amidst life's uncertainties. #Belonging #Love #ExistentialContentment
