Verse 1

We sat down at the same old table

But the spice on the air was from another country

We chewed slowly, trying to name it

Something we'd eaten before we knew ourselves

Chorus

We have been somewhere else

We carry it under the tongue

Not quite grief, not quite longing

Just the weight of a world we once belonged

We have been somewhere else

And our mouths still remember

Every meal is a map of where we were

Before we learned to forget

Verse 2

The steam rising looked like a season

That doesn't exist in the city we live in now

We passed the bread without speaking

Because the feeling was too old for words

Chorus

We have been somewhere else

We carry it under the tongue

Not quite grief, not quite longing

Just the weight of a world we once belonged

We have been somewhere else

And our mouths still remember

Every meal is a map of where we were

Before we learned to forget

Bridge

The body knows before the mind does

A recipe is a kind of address

We are always eating our way back

To a place that no longer holds a door for us

Outro

We set down the fork

We sat with the aftertaste

Somewhere else

Somewhere else
