Everything But the Girl - One Place Lyrics

Summer evening, I walk past the windows
Baby crying, someone's cooking dinner
There's laughter on the TV, someone's learning the violin

How at home, it heals
At times like this, I feel

I would like to live like anybody else
In one place
I could be happy and fulfilled
In one place

So I get the map out
(Get the map out)
I draw a line of where we've been

(Goes through sea and sky)
It goes through sea and sky
Twenty-five planes this year
And it's only July

This is not some Bible, like on the road, oh no
It's just a song about coming home
And whether

I could live like anybody else
In one place
I could be happy and fulfilled
In one place

You know that I have found
I'm happiest weaving from town to town
And you know, Bruce said
"We should keep moving 'round"

Maybe, we all get too tied down, I don't know
Hell, I don't know
Happy to be home
(Still alive)
Happy to be home
(Alright)

In the end, if you take care
You can be happy or unhappy anywhere

I think, we maybe all rely too much dreamin'
On one place
I know I never would deny the need
For one place

I think, we maybe all rely too much, baby
On one place
I know I never would deny the need
For one place

For one place
(For one place, baby)
One place
(One place, baby)
Oh yeah

It goes through sea and sky
(It goes through sea and sky)
One place
One place
(Goes through sea and sky)

I'm happy to be home
(Still I'm happy to be home)
Happy to be home
(Oh, still I'm happy to be home)

Goes through sea and sky
(Sea and sky)
(It goes through sea and sky)

Get the map out
(Get the map out)
Won't you, baby?
(Get the map out)
Oh yeah
(Get the map out)

Get the map out, oh yeah, baby
(Twenty-five planes this year)
Get the map out, it's alright
(After all, twenty-five planes this year)
C'mon

Get the map out
(Oh yeah)
Get the map out
(Oh yeah)
C'mon, get the map out
I said, get the map out
