This Must be the Place (Naive Melody) Lyrics
Home is where I want to be
Pick me up and turn me round
I feel numb, born with a weak heart
I guess I must be having fun
The less we say about it the better
Make it up as we go along
Feet on the ground, head in the sky
It's okay, I know nothing's wrong, nothing

Hey, I got plenty of time
Hey, you got light in your eyes
And you're standing here beside me
Out of the passing of time
Never for money, always for love
Cover up and say goodnight, say goodnight

Home is where I want to be
But I guess I'm already there
I come home, she lifted up her wings
I guess that this must be the place
I can't tell one from another
Did I find you, or you find me?
There was a time before we were born
If someone asks, this where I'll be, where I'll be

Hey, we drift in and out
Hey, sing into my mouth
Out of all those kinds of people
You got a face with a view
I'm just an animal looking for a home
Share the same space for a minute or two
And you'll love me 'til my heart stops
Love me 'til I'm dead
Eyes that light up, eyes look through you
Cover up the blank spots
Hit me on the head
Ah ooh

This song is my favourite song of all time. Possibly the most romantic, and it is about returning to the one you love. The only song more romantic? Songbird by Fleetwood Mac.

This must be what finding real love is like.

This song is also one of my all-time favorites. I don't know why but it reminds me of the innocent youth that we all experience but can never go back to. It's a definite comfort song for me.

Also, Shawn Colvin does a great acoustic version of this. Check it out on her Fat City album.

i always look for the angle in talking heads songs, for what is subversive. but i have to say if there is something subversive about this song i don't want to know it. it is so joyful and beautiful. i sing along loudly to it and it makes me happy.

david byrne said this is one of the only love songs he's written. in "stop making sense," he sings it to a lamp. the man is a genius

An awesome song. We played this at our wedding ceremony (they said we could play "our song"). Guests were pleasantly surprised :o)

Zooey74 was looking for the subversive edge to this song, well, it's pretty straight forward, except for the fact that it's subtitled "Naive Melody". Yes, this is love at it's most childlike, maybe to the point of self-delusion-- I got plenty of time.

I think it's the irrationality, to stop making sense, the losing yourself in love.

home is less of a place and more of a concept, oftentimes idealized. when the tangible experience of home is not present, a search is made for a suitable replacement, and this can be found in a person. there's no place like home, and sometimes when you are with something warm and familiar in an otherwise unfamiilar environment, it can be the best form of love.

arcade fire also does an amazing redition of this song, especially good if you can find the live version that they sing with david bryne. awesome.


i love "home is where i wanna be, but i guess i'm already there", among other things, just about getting to the realization that ultimately you carry your home with you, something we all must come to terms with at some point (especially transient young adults like myself)

String Cheese incident does a good cover of this song, but i think they only did once during a concert so the only way you'll be able to hear it is if you download it. But if you like jam bands then you should check it out.

Who isn't a sucker for "Did I find you or you find me?" ? :] Does anyone know what year this song was made? Love it nonetheless.

“Home is where I want to be” --- loneliness
”Pick me up and turn me round” --- he’s been wandering down the wrong path, looking for solace from loneliness, he asks someone to turn him around, onto a better path
”I feel numb - burn with a weak heart” --- he’s physically alive, his candle of life still burns, but deep down he feels numb and weak
”Guess I must be having fun” --- just that general “meh” feeling, life’s not bad but could be better
”The less we say about it the better “ --- the less we dwell on life, the less we think and worry about it, the better
”Make it up as we go along” --- life is unscripted, we just improvise as it happens
”Head in the sky” --- dreaming dreams
“Feet on the ground” --- grounded in harsh reality
”It's ok I know nothing's wrong…” --- but still, life’s ok, it’s ok to dream even if you’re grounded in the real world forever
”Hi yo I got plenty of time” --- the comfortable lazy feeling of false security generated by taking the amount of time you have allotted in this life for granted
”Hi yo you got light in your eyes” --- the way you notice small details when the ^ lazy feeling overcomes you, you look deeper into people, noticing their little quirks
”And you're standing here beside me” --- a good friend, a soul mate perhaps
”I love the passing of time” --- see “lazy feeling” above
”Never for money / Always for love” --- the reason behind the truly important things in life
((Cover up and say goodnight … say goodnight)) ((not sure what this line means))
”Home is where I want to be” --- slight tinge of loneliness revisited
”But I guess I'm already there” --- deep down, home is always with us, within us
”I come home - she lifted up her wings” --- the girl he loves, who now lives with him (or he lives with her), is a true angel to him --- particularly beautiful line b/c it’s so nonchalant, “she lifted up her wings”, sung in such a tone as if she just brushed a strand of hair back from her face, and that gesture just brought him to his knees, that’s how beautifully simple yet heavenly she is
”Guess that this must be the place” --- he finally realizes that this is love where he is
”I can't tell one from another / Did I find you, or you find me?” --- true love at it’s finest, beautifully simple line, yet says so much
((There was a time Before we were born)) ((not sure what this line means))
”If someone asks, this where I'll be . . . where I'll be” --- he likes being “in love” and wants to remain there forever, he’s leaving an answering machine type thing to the rest of the world, indicating that he finally found a spot to hide away from ever
”Hi yo We drift in and out” --- physical act of making love
”Hi yo sing into my mouth” --- kissing
”Out of all those kinds of people / You got a face with a view” --- points out her uniqueness
”I'm just an animal looking for a home / Share the same space for a minute or two” --- loneliness revisited
”And you love me till my heart stops / Love me till I'm dead” --- intoxicating nature of true love
”Eyes that light up, eyes look through you” --- intimate connection with his lover, leading to her penetrating gazes, she knows his darkest secrets
”Cover up the blank spots” --- she also knows his imperfections and her own nature complements for them
”Hit me on the head Ah ooh” --- head over heels in love

Doesn't even need to be applied to finding true love, but perhaps to the giddiness and fear when a substantial relationship is growing--when you know you're getting into something good. And old flame sang this to me all the time, but the first time he did was the first night that we realized that we were, in fact, a real couple.
