I Know A Place (Acoustic)

[Verse 1]

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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 2]

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 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

[Pre-Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

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

[Bridge]

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

[Chorus]

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
