The narrator describes the struggles she sometimes has to face whilst touring. She also describes how both her band and (the sight of) her fans help her get through it.
The song is said to have been written on a boat in London along with Askjell Solstrand. As Sigrid stated in one of her tweets, it...
[Verse 1]
It's a lonely feelin', wavin' you goodbye
I don't know what I'm leavin' until the moment is gone
[Pre-Chorus]
Checkin' in, never checkin' out
I get tired, kinda grumpy
But I'm never in doubt that you've got my back
When I see you again
[Chorus]
Sometimes it's like nothin' is going my way
Even though I know I'm getting up on that stage
But now that I'm here, I got reason to believe
Just the sight of you is getting the best out of me
Just the sight of you is getting the best out of me
[Verse 2]
The airline lost my luggage, still got all this weight
And all the things I'm done with are showin' up again
[Pre-Chorus]
Breakin' in but I won't break down
I get tired, kinda grumpy
But I'm never in doubt that you've got my back
When I see you again
[Chorus]
Sometimes it's like nothin' is going my way
Even though I know I'm gettin' up on that stage
But now that I'm here, I got reason to believe
Just the sight of you is getting the best out of me
Just the sight of you is getting the best out of me
Just the sight of you is getting the best out of me
[Bridge]
And I'll be damned if I ever forget
Just how lucky I am to be
Close to you when I need it the most
Can you hold me if I wanna leave?
[Pre-Chorus]
Breakin' in but I won't break down
I get tired, kinda grumpy
But I'm never in doubt that you've got my back
When I see you again
[Chorus]
Sometimes it's like nothin' is going my way
Even though I know I'm getting up on that stage
But now that I'm here, I got reason to believe
Just the sight of you is getting the best out of me
Sometimes it's like nothing is going my way
Even though I know I'm getting up on that stage
But now that I'm here, I got reason to believe
Just the sight of you is getting the best out of me
Just the sight of you is getting the best out of me
Just the sight of you is getting the best out of me
Sight of You was produced by Askjell.
Sigrid released Sight of You on Thu Feb 28 2019.
During a live concert at Omeara, London, Sigrid said:
“Sight of You” is about when I’m tired of waking up early and having early flights… That can be quite shit. But, then you get on stage and I can see my band is there and I can see that you guys [the audience] are here and that means everything....
