Rather Be
runaground Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We′re a thousand miles from comfort
We have travelled land and sea
But as long as you are with me
Theres no place I rather be.
I would wait forever
Exculted in the scene
As long i am with you
My heart continues to beat
With every step you 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 the chance i would take it
Its a shot in the dark but i′ll make it
Know with all of your heart you cant shame me
When i am with you theres no place i rather be.
No no no no no place i'd rather be
No no no no no place i'd rather be
No no no no no place i′d rather be
We staked out on a misson
To find out inner peice
Make it ever lasting
So nothings incomplete
It′s easy being with you
Sacred simplicity
As long as were together theres no place i'd rather be
With every step you 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
Its a shot in the dark but i'll make it
Know with all of your heart you can′t shame me
When i am with you theres no place i'd rather be
No no no no no place i′d rather be
No no no no no place i'd rather be
No no no no no place i'd rather be
No no no no no place i′d rather be




No no no no no place i′d rather be
No no no no no place i'd rather be
