Everything But the Girl Lyrics
"One Place"

(Happy to be home)
(Happy to be home)

A summer evening, I walk past the windows
The baby cryin', and someone's cooking dinner
There's laughter on the TV
And someone's learning the violin
And how at home, at peace
At times like this, I feel

I would like to live like anybody else (here in one place)
In one place
I could be happy and fulfilled (here in one place)
In one place

So I get the map out (get the map out)
And draw a line of where we've been (it 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"
It's just a song about coming home and whether

I could live like anybody else (here in one place)
In one place
And I could be happy and fulfilled (here in one place)
In one place

You do know that I have found
I'm happiest weavin' from town to town
You know Bruce said we should keep movin' 'round
Maybe we all get too tied down, I don't know
Yeah, I don't know
(Happy to be home) and still I'm
(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 (on one place)
On one place
Oh I never would deny the need (for one place)
For one place
I think we may all rely too much baby
On one place
Oh I know I never would deny the need (for one place)
For one place

(Happy to be home)
(Happy to be home)
(Happy to be home)
(Happy to be home)
C'mon, get the map out
C'mon, get the map out
(Happy to be home)
(Happy to be home)
(Happy to be home)
