Lyrics to Where I Wanna Be
Feeling like I’ve been away too long
In a town I know I don’t belong
All the solitude and sleepless nights
I’ll leave it all behind
All these places I don’t recognise
All these faces that I won’t see twice
Just a number in a 9 to 5
So far from home tonight
Every moment lingers
Every minute losing count
Dreaming painted pictures
I can see it now
Standing on every corner
Walking down every street
Where a sunburnt city’s all I know
That’s where I wanna be
Feel the heat of an endless summer
I can hear it calling me
The only place I’ll ever call my own
Is where I wanna be
High above passing through the clouds
High on the thought that I will soon touch down
Settle safe back into your arms
Your space, your touch your warmth
A little clarity is all I need
Familiarity is all I see
Now I swear it’s like I never left
Here and now I stay
Standing on every corner
Walking down every street
Where a sunburnt city’s all I know
That’s where I wanna be
Just a number in a 9 to 5
So far from home tonight
Every moment lingers
Every minute losing count
Dreaming painted pictures
I can see it now
Standing on every corner
Walking down every street
Where a sunburnt city’s all I know
That’s where I wanna be
Feel the heat of an endless summer
I can hear it calling me
The only place I’ll ever call my own
Is where I wanna be
High above passing through the clouds
High on the thought that I will soon touch down
Settle safe back into your arms
Your space, your touch your warmth
A little clarity is all I need
Familiarity is all I see
Now I swear it’s like I never left
Here and now I stay
Standing on every corner
Walking down every street
Where a sunburnt city’s all I know
That’s where I wanna be
In a town I know I don’t belong
All the solitude and sleepless nights
I’ll leave it all behind
All these places I don’t recognise
All these faces that I won’t see twice
Just a number in a 9 to 5
So far from home tonight
Every moment lingers
Every minute losing count
Dreaming painted pictures
I can see it now
Standing on every corner
Walking down every street
Where a sunburnt city’s all I know
That’s where I wanna be
Feel the heat of an endless summer
I can hear it calling me
The only place I’ll ever call my own
Is where I wanna be
High above passing through the clouds
High on the thought that I will soon touch down
Settle safe back into your arms
Your space, your touch your warmth
A little clarity is all I need
Familiarity is all I see
Now I swear it’s like I never left
Here and now I stay
Standing on every corner
Walking down every street
Where a sunburnt city’s all I know
That’s where I wanna be
Just a number in a 9 to 5
So far from home tonight
Every moment lingers
Every minute losing count
Dreaming painted pictures
I can see it now
Standing on every corner
Walking down every street
Where a sunburnt city’s all I know
That’s where I wanna be
Feel the heat of an endless summer
I can hear it calling me
The only place I’ll ever call my own
Is where I wanna be
High above passing through the clouds
High on the thought that I will soon touch down
Settle safe back into your arms
Your space, your touch your warmth
A little clarity is all I need
Familiarity is all I see
Now I swear it’s like I never left
Here and now I stay
Standing on every corner
Walking down every street
Where a sunburnt city’s all I know
That’s where I wanna be
