Lyrics of
This Must Be The Place Naive Melody

This Must Be the Place (Naive Melody) by Talking Heads is about home and love in an unconventional sense. David Byrne, the lead singer, managed to capture an innocence and simplicity in the song, something he called a naive melody. The song is characterized by its minimalistic instrumental and heartfelt lyrics, making it a fan favorite. Byrne has mentioned this is his most mature song, dealing with love in a true manner without being cliché.

Home is where I want to be
Pick me up and turn me round
I feel numb born with a weak heart
I guess I must be having fun
The less we say about it the better
Make it up as we go along
Feet on the ground, head in the sky
It's ok I know nothing's wrong nothing
Hi yo I got plenty of time
Hi yo you got light in your eyes (And you’re )
And you're standing here beside me
I love the passing of time
Never for money - always for love
Cover up and say goodnight - say good night
Home is where I want to be
But I guess I'm already there
I come home she lifted up her wings
I guess that this must be the place
I can't tell one from another
Did I find you, or you find me?
There was a time before we were born
If someone asks, this where I'll be where I'll be
Hi yo we drift in and out
Hi yo sing into my mouth
Out of all those kinds of people
You got a face with a view
I'm just an animal looking for a home and
Share the same space for a minute or two
And you love me till my heart stops
Love me till I'm dead
Eyes that light up, eyes look through you
Cover up the blank spots, hit me on the head like a
Ooooooh
(repeat and fade)
