Where I Sleep
Emeli Sandé Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
There's nothing that I won't do for your kiss
I love you like there's no tomorrow
'Cause nothing ever felt like this
There's nothing I won't steal or borrow
I'll travel on a boat or airplane
I'll explore a world of sorrow
See the times are changing
And I'm sure of nothing that I know
Except this is us, and this is love, and this is where I'm home
In a world that's breaking, where nothing is for keeps
Oh this is us, this is love and this is where I sleep
This is us, this is love and this is where I sleep
I'm from a generation undecided
I'm restless and I can't help changing lanes
But in all the noise and the excitement,
Your love is all that will remain
I've said all of my goodbyes to ego
I gambled all I got, there's no plan B
It's the first time that I've learnt to let go
It's the only place I feel, only place I feel like me
See the times are changing
I'm sure of nothing that I know
Except this is us and this is love, and this is where I'm home
In a world that's breaking, where nothing is for keeps
Oh this is us, this is love and this is where I sleep
Emeli Sandé's song "Where I Sleep" reflects a deep and unconditional love that the singer has for someone. The lyrics talk about how the singer is willing to do anything for their loved one, even if it means stealing or borrowing. They are also willing to travel anywhere to be with their loved one.
The chorus of the song repeatedly emphasizes that the person's love is where the singer feels at home and where they can find solace. The love is so important that the singer has given up their ego and let go of any backup plans they may have had. The song also addresses the current state of the world and how things are changing in a way that makes it difficult to know what's certain. However, the one thing that's certain is the love between the singer and their partner, and that is where the singer finds comfort.
The song speaks to the enduring, resilient love that can weather any obstacle. It's about prioritizing love above all else, and finding a sense of belonging and stability in that love. "Where I Sleep" highlights the importance of love in the midst of a changing and chaotic world, and reminds us that love can be a constant source of comfort.

Letra
No hay lugar a donde no te siguiera,
no hay nada que no hiciera por un beso tuyo.
Te quiero como si no hubiera mañana
porque jamás había sentido nada igual.
No hay nada que no robara o tomara prestado,
viajaré en barco o en avión,
exploraré todo un mundo de tristeza
porque cuando te encuentre sé que estaré bien.
Los tiempos están cambiando
y ya no estoy segura de nada de lo que conozco
excepto de nosotros y de este amor
y de que mi hogar se encuentra aquí.
En un mundo que se desmorona
donde nada permanece,
aquí estamos nosotros y este amor
y aquí es donde duermo.
Aquí estamos nosotros y este amor
y aquí es donde duermo.
Pertenezco a una generación indecisa,
estoy inquieta y no puedo evitar que cambien los caminos,
pero entre todo el ruido y el revuelo
tu amor es lo único que quedará.
He dicho adiós a mi ego
he jugado mis cartas, ya no hay plan B.
Por vez primera he aprendido a dejar algo atrás,
este es el único lugar donde soy yo misma.
Los tiempos están cambiando
y ya no estoy segura de nada de lo que conozco
excepto de nosotros y de este amor
y de que mi hogar se encuentra aquí.
En un mundo que se desmorona
donde nada permanece,
aquí estamos nosotros y este amor
y aquí es donde duermo.
Aquí estamos nosotros y este amor
y aquí es donde duermo.

There’s nowhere that I wouldn’t follow
There’s nothing that I won’t do for your kiss
I love you like there’s no tomorrow
Cause nothing ever felt like this
There’s nothing I won’t steal or borrow
I’ll travel on a boat or aeroplane
I’ll explore a world of sorrow
Cause when I find you I know, I know I'ma be OK
See the times are changing
And I’m sure of nothing that I know
Except this is us, and this is love, and this is where I’m home
In a world that’s breaking, where nothing is for keeps
Oh this is us, this is love and this is where I sleep
This is us, this is love and this is where I sleep
I’m from a generation undecided
I’m restless and I can’t help changing lanes
But in all the noise and the excitement,
you’re love is all that will remain
I’ve said all of my goodbyes to ego
I gambled all I got, there’s no plan B
It’s the first time that I’ve learnt to let go
It’s the only place I feel, only place I feel like me
See the times are changing
I’m sure of nothing that I know
Except this is us and this is love, and this is where I’m home
In a world that’s breaking, where nothing is for keeps
Oh this is us, this is love and this is where I sleep
This is us, this is love and this is where I sleep

Emeli Sande is just one of those artist you never get tired of listening. So genuine.
Donna Halper
Just heard this on Grey's Anatomy tonight (23 March 2017). Absolutely perfect song for the episode. I'd never heard it before, and I'm glad I did! Perhaps this will attract new fans to a talented artist and a great piece of music.

Donna Halper this my first time hearing. I am catching up on GA episodes & had to rewind to write the lyrics to search.
