I Know a Place (Acoustic)

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 stayin' 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 hurtin'

But if you want to go out dancin'

I know a place (Ooh-ooh-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-ooh-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 carryin' all the weight of your past

I could see all your bruises, yellow, dark blue and black

But baby a bruise is

Only your body tryna 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 dancin'

I know a place (Ooh-ooh-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-ooh-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 a 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-ooh-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-ooh-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 a lay down your weapon
