Rather Be Lyrics

[Intro: Jess Glynne]
Oh-oh, oh, oh, ah

[Verse 1: Jess Glynne]
We're a thousand miles from comfort
We have travelled 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

[Pre-Chorus: Jess Glynne]
With every step we take, Kyoto to the bay
Strollin' so casually
We're different and the same, gave you another name
Switch up the batteries

[Chorus: Jess Glynne]
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 shame me
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be

[Post-Chorus: Jess Glynne]
No, no, no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
No, no, no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
No, no, no, no, no, no place I'd rather be (Ooh, ooh)

[Verse 2: Jess Glynne]
We staked 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

[Pre-Chorus: Jess Glynne]
With every step we take, Kyoto to the bay
Strollin' so casually
We're different and the same, gave you another name
Switch up the batteries (Yeah)

[Chorus: Jess Glynne]
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 shame me
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be

[Post-Chorus: Jess Glynne]
No, no, no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
No, no, no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
No, no, no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be, yeah

[Bridge: Jess Glynne]
Be
Ooh, ooh
Be, be, be, be, be, be, be, be, be
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah, yeah (Ooh, yeah)

[Chorus: Jess Glynne]
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 shame me
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be

[Post-Chorus: Jess Glynne]
No, no, no, no, no, no place I'd rather be (Be)
No, no, no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
No, no, no, no, no (No), no place I'd rather be
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be, yeah

What was the inspiration for this song?

Most of the songs I’ve written actually are about her [his wife]. “Rather Be” was all about her. She always hears that on the radio and it makes her smile at work.

What did Clean Bandit say about "Rather Be"?

It’s a love song about being completely content with the person that you’re with. We usually write songs by writing all the instrumental parts first and only when that’s finished start on the vocal. When Jack [Napes] wrote the original line, we didn’t know it was going to be a love song at that poin...
