Lyrics I Know A Place - Acoustic - MUNA

I knew
When you told me you don′t wanna go home tonight
And you tried to just shrug it off when I asked you why
Somebody hurt you
Somebody hurt you
But you're here by my side
And I knew
′Cause I can recall when I was the one in your seat
I still got the scars and they occasionally bleed
'Cause somebody hurt me
Somebody hurt me
But I'm staying alive

And I can tell
When you get nervous
You think being yourself
Means being unworthy
And it′s hard to love
With a heart that′s hurting
But if you want to go out dancing

I know a place (ooh)
I know a place we can go (yeah)
Where everyone gonna lay down their weapon
Lay down their weapon
Just give me trust and watch what'll happen
′Cause I know (ooh)
I know a place we can run (yeah)
Where everyone gonna lay down their weapon
Lay down their weapon
Don't you be afraid of love and affection

And right now
It′s like you're carrying all the weight of your past
I can see all the bruises, yellow, dark blue and black
But, baby, a bruise is only your body
Tryin′ to keep you intact
So right now
I think we should go get drunk on cheap wine
I think we should hop on the purple line
'Cause maybe our purpose
Is to never give up when we're on the right track

And I can tell
When you get nervous
You think being yourself
Means being unworthy
And it′s hard to love
With a heart that′s hurting
But if you want to go out dancing

I know a place (ooh)
I know a place we can go (yeah)
Where everyone gonna lay down their weapon
Lay down their weapon
Just give me trust and watch what'll happen
′Cause I know (ooh)
I know a place we can run (yeah)
Where everyone gonna lay down their weapon
Lay down their weapon
Don't you be afraid of love and affection
Just lay down your weapon

They will try to make you unhappy
Don′t let them
They will try to tell you you're not free
Don′t listen
I, I know a place where you don't need protection
Even if it's only in my imagination
Even if our skin or our Gods look different
I believe all human life is significant
I throw my arms open wide in resistance
He′s not my leader even if he′s my president

No (ooh)
Let's build a place we can go (yeah)
Where everyone gonna lay down their weapon
Lay down their weapon
Just give me trust and watch what′ll happen
'Cause I know (ooh)
I know a place we can run (yeah)
Where everyone gonna lay down their weapon
Lay down their weapon
Don′t you be afraid of love and affection
Just lay down your weapon
