Places to Be Lyrics

I'll trade tree lines for traffic

And dirt paths for roads

Go from lonely and sheltered

To overexposed

I wanna, I wanna go

Where mine's the only face I know

I'll trade porch lights for street lamps

On every damn block

I want place after place

Passing by when I walk

I wanna, I wanna run

Where concrete jungles

Block the sun

Need a change, won't let the moment pass

When it calls, I'll make a move so fast

Couldn't make a home there

Couldn't see it last

Can I make a home here

Can't you feel it?

Maybe this time I won't run

Maybe I'm done

Have you noticed that it never feels quite right?

Is it me or is the grass always greener at the next available place to be

Home is surely somewhere, underneath such a sky

Home is surely somewhere, that I'll find it before I die

I could make a home there

I could see it last

I can make a home here

I can feel it

Maybe this time I won't run

Maybe I'm done

I'll trade sirens for bird calls

And train stops for squirrels

I'll trade things made by people

For things by the world

I wanna, I wanna go

Where mine's the only face I don't know

I'll trade parties for picnics

Where only geese flock

I wanna be the only thing

Passing by when I walk

I wanna, I wanna run

Where you gotta get creative

To have fun

Need a change, won't let the moment pass

When it calls, I'll make a move so fast

Couldn't make a home there

Couldn't see it last

Can I make a home here

Can't you feel it?

Maybe this time I won't run

Maybe I'm done

I could make a home there

I could see it last

I can make a home here

I can feel it

Maybe this time I won't run

Maybe I'm done

When it gets really loud I feel something like peace

When it gets really quiet I hear my heart beat

I wanna, I wanna find

A place that feels a bit like mine

Driving or riding or walking on feet

Oceans and mountains and cities and streets

Do I, do I care

If I can make a home there

(If I can make a home there)

Have you noticed that it never feels quite right?

Is it me or is the grass always greener at the next available place to be

Home is surely somewhere, underneath such a sky

Home is surely somewhere, that I'll find it before I die
