“Where I Sleep” sees Emeli Sandé sing about her strong appreciation for the comforts of home, emulating the popular phrase “home is where the heart is”.
In an interview with the Mirror, Emeli said:
I want to keep this one open. It isn’t necessarily romantic… I don’t want any of them to be romantic...
[Verse 1]
There’s nowhere that I wouldn’t follow
There’s nothing that I won’t do for your kiss
I love you like there’s no tomorrow
'Cause nothing ever felt like this
[Verse 2]
There’s nothing I won’t steal or borrow
I’ll travel on a boat or aeroplane
I’ll explore a world of sorrow
'Cause when I find you I know, I know I'ma be okay
[Chorus]
See, the times are changing
And I’m sure of nothing that I know
Except this is us, and this is love, and this is where I’m home
In a world that’s breaking, where nothing is for keeps
Oh this is us, this is love and this is where I sleep
This is us, this is love and this is where I sleep
[Verse 3]
I’m from a generation undecided
I’m restless and I can’t help changing lanes
But in all the noise and the excitement
Your love is all that will remain
I’ve said all of my goodbyes to ego
I gambled all I got, there’s no plan B
It’s the first time that I’ve learnt to let go
It’s the only place I feel, only place I feel like me
[Chorus]
See, the times are changing
I’m sure of nothing that I know
Except this is us and this is love, and this is where I’m home
In a world that’s breaking, where nothing is for keeps
Oh this is us, this is love and this is where I sleep
This is us, this is love and this is where I sleep
Where I Sleep was written by Emeli Sandé.
Where I Sleep was produced by Naughty Boy.
Emeli Sandé released Where I Sleep on Fri Feb 10 2012.
I want to keep this one open. It isn’t necessarily romantic… I don’t want any of them to be romantic, really. I guess I could apply them to any love I have for people around me. It’s just saying this is it – when I am with you I could be anywhere and I feel at home.
