We Belong Somewhere
Discovering Our True Place: We Belong Somewhere
Lyrics
At midnight when we meet
Meeting at midnight, setting a mysterious and intimate tone.
You wear a smile so sweet
Describing the partner's pleasant demeanor with a sweet smile.
Makes me never wonder why I came
Feeling content and not questioning the reason for being together.
I take you by the arm
Taking the partner's arm, indicating a connection and unity.
And then we walk around
Strolling together through various places in town.
Every corner
-Every street
-Every part of town
Emphasizing the exploration of every part of town.
I used to walk these streets you tell me
Reflecting on past experiences of walking the same streets.
But I wasn't really here
Expressing a sense of detachment or absence in the past.
Where were you then
Prompting a question about the partner's whereabouts during that time.
I ask you answer
Posing a question to the partner, seeking an answer.
In between somewhere
Acknowledging a state of being in between or uncertain.
Now in the morning while we eat
Shifting to a morning setting and a lack of verbal communication.
We hardly ever speak
Noting the silence during meals but highlighting deep conversations.
Still our conversations run so deep
Emphasizing the depth of their connection despite the silence.
Just the two of us in here
Describing the intimate setting and the grounding effect it has.
On these wooden chairs
-Makes me feel the floor beneath my feet
-I used to walk these floors I tell you
Recalling a past experience of being in the same physical space.
But I wasn't really here
Expressing a sense of detachment or absence in the past (repeated theme).
Where were you then
Prompting a question about the speaker's whereabouts during that time (repeated theme).
You ask I answer
Answering the question posed in line 25.
On the edge somewhere
Acknowledging a state of being on the edge or uncertain (repeated theme).
Now we've stirred up a fright
Expressing discomfort or anxiety about being somewhere but not fully present.
Cause it just can't be right
-To be somewhere and really not be there
-But it's gonna be all right
Conveying hope and reassurance that things will be okay, mentioning the presence of others.
Cause spread out through the night
-There are people in their houses
-There is light
-We used to walk these streets we'll tell them
Sharing a collective experience of being physically present but mentally and emotionally distant.
But we weren't really here
-Our bodies were
-But our hearts and minds they were
-Way up there somewhere
-And we were trying to figure out the truth
Reflecting on the journey of seeking truth and clarity within themselves.
Trying to make it clear
-To ourselves
Affirming a sense of belonging somewhere despite past uncertainties.
We do indeed belong somewhere
