[Verse 1]
I'm a phoenix in the water
A fish that's learned to fly
And I've always been a daughter
But feathers are meant for the sky
So I'm wishing, wishing further
For the excitement to arrive
It's just I'd rather be causing the chaos
Than laying at the sharp end of this knife
[Pre-Chorus]
With every small disaster
I'll let the waters still
Take me away to some place real
[Chorus]
'Cause they say home
Is where your heart is set in stone
Is where you go when you're alone
Is where you go to rest your bones
And it's not just where you lay your head
It's not just where you make your bed
As long as we're together
Does it matter where we go?

I'm a phoenix in the water

So I'm wishing, wishing further
For the excitement to arrive
It's just I'd rather be causing the chaos
Than laying at the sharp end of this knife
[Pre-Chorus]
With every small disaster
I'll let the waters still
Take me away to some place real
[Chorus]
'Cause they say home
Is where your heart is set in stone
Is where you go when you're alone
Is where you go to rest your bones
And it's not just where you lay your head
It's not just where you make your bed
As long as we're together
Does it matter where we go?

[Verse 2]
So when I'm ready to be bolder
And my cuts have healed with time
Comfort will rest on my shoulder
And I'll bury my future behind
I'll always keep you with me
You'll be always on my mind
But there's a shining in the shadows
And I'll never know unless I try
[Pre-Chorus]
With every small disaster
I'll let the waters still
Take me away to some place real
[Chorus]
'Cause they say home
Is where your heart is set in stone
Is where you go when you're alone
Is where you go to rest your bones
And it's not just where you lay your head
It's not just where you make your bed
As long as we're together
Does it matter where we go?

Genius Annotation
Gabrielle explained the lyrics to each song on her album English Rain on a blog post.
I’ve definitely written about Home before. I had the chorus for about a year before I finished the song. I wrote it when I moved to London two years ago. It’s about realising where home is for you. For me it wasn’t the house I was in but the people I was with.
