Rather Be
Robin Schulz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm envious because
Wish I was on your lips, ooh-ooh
I'm jealous of the wind
That's running through your hair
And all over your skin
Hey, my guess is that you want what I want
Hey, it's time to wrap it up, send them home
'Cause I'd rather be alone with my baby
Don't tease me
Don't leave me here alone
'Cause I'd rather be alone with my baby
Ooh, baby
Send everybody home
'Cause I'd rather be alone with my baby
'Cause I'd rather be alone with my baby
'Cause I'd rather be alone with my baby
You got me in the mood
So you can't blame me now
For tryna clear the room
Are all my manners gone?
'Cause I can't take my eyes
Off what you're sitting on
Hey, my guess is that you want what I want
And you know what I want
Hey, it's time to wrap it up, send them home
'Cause I'd rather be alone with my baby
'Cause I'd rather be alone with my baby
'Cause I'd rather be alone with my baby
(Don't tease me)
(Don't leave me here alone)
('Cause I'd rather be alone with my baby)
(Ooh, baby)
(Send everybody home)
'Cause I'd rather be alone with my baby
Don't tease me
Don't leave me here alone
'Cause I'd rather be alone with my baby
Ooh, baby
Send everybody home
'Cause I'd rather be alone with my baby
'Cause I'd rather be alone with my baby
'Cause I'd rather be alone with my baby
(Don't tease me)
(Don't leave me here alone)
('Cause I'd rather be alone with my baby)

Line by Line Meaning
We're a thousand miles from comfort, we have traveled land and sea
Despite being far away from our source of comfort, we have journeyed far and wide together
But as long as you are with me, there's no place I rather be
My happiness is guaranteed as long as I have you by my side
I would wait forever, exulted in the scene
I'm willing to wait for eternity, reveling in the moment with you
As long as I am with you, my heart continues to beat
My love for you is the driving force that keeps my heart beating
With every step we take, Kyoto to The Bay
As we travel from Kyoto to The Bay, every step we take brings us closer together
Strolling so casually
We walk together in a relaxed and easygoing manner
We're different and the same, gave you another name
Despite being unique, we still have similarities; I've given you a nickname that only we share
Switch up the batteries
We need to swap out the batteries to keep our shared device running
If you gave me a chance I would take it
I would jump at the opportunity to be with you
It's a shot in the dark but I'll make it
Even though it may seem uncertain, I'm willing to take the risk to be with you
Know with all of your heart, you can't shame me
You can trust that I won't be embarrassed or humiliated because of my love for you
When I am with you, there's no place I rather be
My desire is to be with you above all else
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I rather be
I can't stress it enough, there's no place I'd rather be than with you
We staked out on a mission to find our inner peace
Together we set out to discover our own individual peace of mind
Make it everlasting so nothing's incomplete
We want to make our newfound peace last forever so nothing is left unfinished
It's easy being with you, sacred simplicity
Despite our differences, being together feels natural and uncomplicated
When I am with you, there's no place I rather be
My ultimate desire is to be with you, nothing else compares
Hmm, Ho
An expression of contemplation and satisfaction
Be, be, be, be, be, be, be, be, be
Repetition of 'be' to emphasize existing in the present moment with the one they love
Yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah, yeah, yeah
An exclamation of joy and happiness
