Elephante vs. Clean Bandit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're a thousand miles from comfort, we have traveled land and sea
But as long as you are with me, there's no place I'd rather be
I would wait forever, exalted in the scene
As long as I am with you, my heart continues to beat
With every step we take, Kyoto to The Bay
Strolling so casually
Switch up the batteries
If you gave me a chance I would take it
It's a shot in the dark but I'll make it
Know with all of your heart, you can't shame me
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
Ooh ooh
We staked out on a mission to find our inner peace
Make it everlasting so nothing's incomplete
It's easy being with you, sacred simplicity
As long as we're together, there's no place I'd rather be
With every step we take, Kyoto to The Bay
Strolling so casually
We're different and the same, gave you another name
Switch up the batteries
If you gave me a chance I would take it
It's a shot in the dark but I'll make it
Know with all of your heart, you can't shame me
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be (Yeah)
Oh, oh
Be be be be be be be be be
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, yeah
If you gave me a chance I would take it
It's a shot in the dark but I'll make it
Know with all of your heart, you can't shame me
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be

A young boy sat quietly on the shoreline, watching the calm water lap at the rocks and sand beneath him. His knees were tucked against his chest, his head resting on them as his mind wandered into daydreams. He played with his one untied shoelace, observing the beautiful sky and sea, watching as the golden orb of fire sank beneath the endless horizon. The sky was painted a blue hue of blues, pinks and golds. Softly placed clouds drifted across the sky, highlighting the beautiful atmosphere. The twelve year old boy raised his head and looked above, seeing a small flock of doves fly overhead. He watched as they flew over, something catching the corner of his eye. A small dove sat in front of him, it's feathers as white as snow. The delicate creature looked at the boy, it's small black eyes reflecting the boy's curiosity. The bird tilted head to a side, it's eyes looking straight into the child's. The boy let go of the shoelace he had been playing with and slowly reached out a hand. The dove watched him for a moment before hopping forward and hopping onto the human's hand, sitting in his palm. The boy looked at the small animal with amazement, a smile forming on his lips. He heard the doves flying above let out several calls, to which the dove on the boy's hand replied with a soft, purr-like "cooo". Just then, the bird ruffled it's feathers and took off from the boy's hand. Not wanting his new-found friend to leave, he jumped up and ran after the bird as it flew up, leaving a trail of white feathers. He jumped from the rock he sat on, water splashing from beneath his feet as he reached up as if trying to beckon the bird back to his hand. But it was too late; the small dove had escaped back to his family. The boy stopped running through the shallows, his shoes and pants wet. He stood in silence, feeling the waves lap at his feet as he watched the doves fly through the beautifully painted sky. The boy's eyes reflected sorrow and loneliness as he took in a breath before speaking.
"Goodbye, my only friend."
