Rather Be
Jasmine Thompson 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
Exulted in the seam
But as long as I am with you
My heart continues to beat
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
Loaded gun of your heart, you can't shame me
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be

No, no, no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
No, no, no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
No, no, no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be

We set out on a mission
To find our inner peace
Make it everlasting
So nothing is 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
Loaded gun of your heart, you can't shame me
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be

No, no, no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
No, no, no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
No, no, no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be

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
Loaded gun of your heart, you can't shame me
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be

No, no, no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
No, no, no, no, no, no place I'd rather be




No, no, no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be

Oh, Woah, Ooh, ooh

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
We're different and the same, get 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 shake me
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be

Make it everlasting so nothing's incomplete

Strolling so casually
We're different and the same, get you another name
Switch up the batteries

Tradução:
Estamos a mil milhas de conforto
Temos viajado a terra eo mar
Mas enquanto você está comigo
Não há nenhum lugar que eu preferiria estar
Eu esperaria para sempre
Exultou com a cena
Enquanto eu estou com você
Meu coração continua a bater

Com cada passo que damos
Kyoto para The Bay
Strongless tão casualmente
Nós somos diferentes eo mesmo
Deu-lhe outro nome
Alterne as baterias

Se você me deu uma chance que eu iria levá-la
É um tiro no escuro, mas eu vou fazer isso
Saiba com todo o seu coração, você não pode me mudar
Quando estou com você, não há nenhum lugar que eu preferiria estar

Não, não, não, não, não há lugar que eu preferiria estar
Não, não, não, não, não há lugar que eu preferiria estar
Não, não, não, não, não há lugar que eu preferiria estar

Nós partimos em uma missão
Para encontrar a nossa paz interior
Torná-lo eterno
Portanto, nada é incompleta
É fácil estar com você
Simplicidade Sagrado
Enquanto estamos juntos
Não há nenhum lugar que eu preferiria estar

Com cada passo que damos
Kyoto para The Bay
Strongless tão casualmente
Nós somos diferentes eo mesmo
Deu-lhe outro nome
Alterne as baterias

Se você me deu uma chance que eu iria levá-la
É um tiro no escuro, mas eu vou fazer isso
Saiba com todo o seu coração, você não pode me mudar
Quando estou com você, não há nenhum lugar que eu preferiria estar

Não, não, não, não, não há lugar que eu preferiria estar
Não, não, não, não, não há lugar que eu preferiria estar
Não, não, não, não, não há lugar que eu preferiria estar

Quando estou com você, não há nenhum lugar que eu preferiria estar

Hmmmmmmmmmm, Hoooooooooo
Seja, ser, estar, ser, estar, ser, ser ...
Yeah-yeah-e-e-yeah-yeah-e--e sim, sim, sim

Se você me deu uma chance que eu iria levá-la
É um tiro no escuro, mas eu vou fazer isso
Saiba com todo o seu coração, você não pode me mudar
Quando estou com você, não há nenhum lugar que eu preferiria estar

Não, não, não, não, não há lugar que eu preferiria estar
Não, não, não, não, não há lugar que eu preferiria estar
Não, não, não, não, não há lugar que eu preferiria estar
Quando estou com você, não há nenhum lugar que eu preferiria estar
