Remember Where You Are
Jessie Ware Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The heart of the city is on fire
Sun on the rise, the highs are gonna fall
But nothing is different in my arms
So, darling, remember
Remember where you are

Do you remember where we are?
I'm no enemy of yours, no, no
When life is hard that's how it goes
As your destiny unfolds, hold on

To the picture hung on the wall
Sweet reminder before the fall
Remember me, remember me
Remember me, remember me
To the places we used to go
Sweet reminder, so beautiful
Remember me, remember me
Remember me, remember me

Every day you get up
And look out of the window
Take a breath of morning air
And listen to the people out there

The heart of the city is on fire (the heart of the city is on fire)
Sun on the rise, the highs are gonna fall (the highs are gonna fall)
But nothing is different in my arms (in my arms, in my arms, in my arms)
So, darling, remember ('member)
Remember ('member)
Where you are
Where you are
Where you are
Where you are (remember, remember)

We are the last ones of our kind
Freedom of our hearts and mind oh, oh
Yes, let our bodies testify
And our spirits be entwined forevermore

Every day you get up and look out of the window
Take a breath of morning air
And listen to the people out there
As the birds are singing a duet with the morning traffic
What's the one you're hearing?
What's the one you're hearing?

The heart of the city is on fire (the heart of the city is on fire)
Sun on the rise, the highs are gonna fall (the highs are gonna fall)
But nothing is different in my arms (in my arms, in my arms, in my arms)
So, darling, remember ('member)
Remember ('member)
Where you are

Can we keep moving in the after hours?
Can we keep loving on the edge of doubt?
You should let me save the day
Please and thank the pain away
(Remember)
Why don't you take me, take me home?

Can we keep moving in the after hours?
Can we keep loving on the edge of doubt?
You should let me save the day
Please and thank the pain away
Why don't you take me, take me home?

Can we keep moving in the after hours?
Can we keep loving on the edge of doubt?
You should let me save the day
Please and thank the pain away
Why don't you take me, take me home?

The heart of the city is on fire
Sun on the rise, the highs are gonna fall
But nothing is different in my arms
So darling, remember




Remember where you are
Where you are

Many people may not understand my emotions about this song... A few years ago, China was locked down for three years due to the coronavirus. Three years later, I lost my job, my grandmother, and no hope. This song gives me strength. Jessie Ware Thank you.

Jesse Ware is SO underrated . I love how she brings back the classic Motown sound . While this was playing, I could picture The 5th Dimension singing background with her . I love her music and her silky soul voice just carries you away . I just hate when the song ends . She's a true diamond hidden among the empty cookie-cutter cubic zirconias out there .

stop and desist using the word underrated. She isnt, a star in her own right. Forget the people who like the type of noise 'artists' like Sam loony Smith make.
