The second verse speaks to the struggle of being too comfortable in one's current situation, mistaking boredom for ease.

The chorus repeats the line "I'm just longing for a place I don't know" which speaks to the idea of seeking out new experiences and places to belong. This is followed by the sentiment that even familiar surroundings can feel unfamiliar when you are searching for something new. It opens with the question "What's the word, does that thing have a name?" which speaks to the feeling of not knowing exactly what you are looking for or what to call it when you find it. The lyrics to Daniel Olsén & Jonathan Eng's song "A Place I Don't Know" center around the idea of feeling lost and searching for something new.
