Lyrics Badly Drawn Boy – The Place I Want To Be

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
