You Are the Place Songtext
von Will Hoge

Well, I bought a new suit
I got my uncle′s old brown wing tip shoes
I cleaned myself up the best that I could
Spent an hour in the mirror
Just trying to make things disappear
When the magician runs out of tricks, that's when he starts running

And you came in, wearing that dress
That made me look like even more of a mess
You smiled and asked me if I knew where I was heading
So I made some kind of joke
You didn′t laugh and neither one of us spoke
And right then, darling, I knew that you were sure something

Ooh, stranded on the border
Back and forth 'cross the interstate line
Trying to find somewhere that I might stay
But now I know, hey, I know
You are the place


So I ran, tried to hide
From Dallas to Denver, to the Upper West Side
Tried Columbus then London, out in the rain
Valencia came and it went
So I roamed around in Brighton a bit
Then even Amsterdam just wasn't enough for the pain

Ooh, stranded on the border
Back and forth ′cross the interstate line
Trying to find somewhere that I might stay
But now I know, hey, I know
You are the place

I can feel the gravity pulling me home
Just like an ancient sailor with the sky and the stars
Maps that I followed before, they all led me to nothing
So now I just find myself running right back where you are

Ooh, stranded on the border
Back and forth ′cross the interstate line
Trying to find somewhere that I might stay
Now I know, hey, I know
You are the place
