"PLACE TO BE" lyrics

It was your birthday
And I wasn't there
We FaceTimed for an hour, sent you some flowers
They were half dead but you didn't care
You were over the moon
A little head high from the fresh paint
Somewhere in between a white and a light gray
You say they didn't smell good
But you love the way they look in the living room

I kiss you goodbye
Through my phone line
And that's when it hit me
There isn't a minute
I don't need you with me

'Cause baby you
Give me a place to be
Ooh
Making the space for me
I'm keeping you close when we're apart
I'm calling home wherever you are
'Cause baby you
Give me a place to be

Sitting in traffic
After a hell of a week
Thinking to myself it can't get worse
But my whole day turned
When I stumbled through the front door
And you were in boxers
Brushing your teeth
I couldn't help but think
There's nobody else I'd rather share a sink with
In this whole wide world

'Cause you
Give me a place to be
Ooh
Making the space for me
I'm keeping you close when we're apart
I'm calling home wherever you are
'Cause baby you
Give me a place to be

Give me a place to be
Place to be
Oh
Ooh
You give me a place, a place to be
