Rather Be
Lady Georgie 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
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
N-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
N-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
N-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
Ooh, ooh
We set 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, 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
N-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
N-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
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
(Be, ooh, ooh)
Be, be, be, be
Be, be, be, be, be
Yeah, 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 shake me
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be
N-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
N-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
N-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be (rather be)
The song "Rather Be" by Clean Bandit featuring Jess Glynne is an upbeat and romantic song that expresses feelings of comfort and contentment as long as the singer is with her loved one. The song starts with the idea of traveling a great distance, both on land and sea, searching for comfort and inner peace, but ultimately finding it in the company of the person she loves. Even if they are far from home or any familiar place, as long as they are together, they have found the place they'd rather be. The singer promises to wait forever for her partner and feels exalted when she is with him.
The chorus is catchy and straightforward, with the singer repeating that she would rather be with her loved one than anywhere else. The lyrics paint a couple walking through the cities of Kyoto and The Bay, enjoying each other's company and the simple things in life. Although the two may have different personalities and backgrounds, they still find comfort and love in each other's arms. The song ends with the singer reiterating her desire to be with her partner and how being together makes her feel complete.
