Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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

We′re a thousand miles from comfort
We are far away from our comfort zone or familiar surroundings
We have travelled land and sea
We have journeyed across various terrains and bodies of water
But as long as you are with me
As long as I have you by my side
Theres no place I rather be.
There is nowhere else I would prefer to be
I would wait forever
I am willing to wait an indefinite amount of time
Exulted in the scene
Full of joy and excitement in the current situation
As long i am with you
As long as I am together with you
My heart continues to beat
My heart keeps on pulsating, indicating my love for you
With every step you take
With each movement you make
Kyoto to the bay
From the city of Kyoto to the shoreline
Strolling so casually
Walking in a relaxed and carefree manner
We're different and the same
Although we have our differences, we are still similar
Gave you another name
I came up with a new nickname for you
Switch up the batteries
Change or replace the batteries
If you gave me the chance i would take it
If you offered me an opportunity, I would accept it
Its a shot in the dark but i′ll make it
It may be uncertain, but I will still try to succeed
Know with all of your heart you cant shame me
Believe wholeheartedly that you cannot embarrass or disappoint me
When i am with you theres no place i rather be.
Being together with you is the ideal place for me
No no no no no place i'd rather be
Absolutely no other place I would prefer to be
We staked out on a mission
We embarked on an important journey
To find out inner peace
To discover tranquility within ourselves
Make it ever lasting
Make our experience eternal or enduring
So nothings incomplete
So that nothing feels unfinished or lacking
It′s easy being with you
Being together with you is effortless
Sacred simplicity
A profound, uncomplicated bond we share
As long as were together theres no place i'd rather be
As long as we are united, there is nowhere else I'd prefer to be
