Big Thief - The Only Place lyrics

[Verse 1] What if all the worlds in space Would melt into one single place And intertwine the human race With other kinds The atom is an empty vase A vehicle to know embrace The way you feel, the way you taste It multiplies [Pre-Chorus] So much to share So much to share [Chorus] When all material scatters And ash is amplified The only place that matters Is by your side [Verse 2] What if all the time between The words we say and what we mean Would roll as softly as a stream That we could ride We'd ride the bend from north to south I want a friend from source to mouth To build that question as a house Where we'd reside [Pre-Chorus] So much to share So much to share [Chorus] When all material scatters And ash is amplified The only place that matters Is by your side When all material scatters And ash is amplified The only place that matters Is by your side
