Rather Be Lyrics
We're a thousand miles from comfort,
We have traveled land and sea,
But as long as you are with me,
There's no place I'd rather be.
I would wait forever,
Exulted in the the sea,
As long as I am with you,
My heart continues to beat.
With every step we 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,
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.
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be,
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be,
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be.
We staked out on a mission,
To find out 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.
With every step we 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,
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.
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be,
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be,
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be.
When I am with you,
There's no place I'd rather be.
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.
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be,
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be,
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be.

There's no place I'd rather be.

A beautiful song indeed,
Why would you want to be elsewhere when you are so in love.
This song depicts that exact feeling. She is so exited about the relationship and though she feels she might be in it blindly, It doesn't matter, she'll just enjoy it and make the best of every moment.
Even after hearing five of their songs many times (A&E, Mozarts House, Dust Clears, Rather Be and Extraordinary), I still don't know how they manage to combine classical music with dance beats so seamlessly. Outstanding
FYI I reckon that you could mix rather be into extraordinary very easily by upping the pace when it gets to "We're different and the same, gave you another name, switch up the batteries"

"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"
The words 'chance', 'dark' and 'shame' kind of tell us that there are lots of opportunities in life and we may experience EXTREME suffering to get them, but we should always believe in ourselves, because God gave us this special potential :)
"With every step we take, Kyoto to The Bay Strolling so casually We're different and the same, gave you another name Switch up the batteries"
Could this maybe be referring to American military in Japan falling in love with a local woman?
We're different and the same, gave you another name Switch up the batteries
Batteries= energy source, what you run one, what powers you We're different= different cultures, ideas, creed, gender, class anything of that sort the same= we're all human, we've all got feelings name= label. society puts us into categories.
If you switch up your point of view and begin to understand, you'll find that we're all pretty similar.
I have the feeling that this song is about the love for music, instead of loving someone, wherever she is and whatever the situation is she is ok as long as there is music.
OK, guys. THIS SONG IS CREEPY! After watching it over a hundred times, l finally found out what it means.In the beginning: Ohh!! What a cute song!!! After watching it a bit more: Something's fishy.. IN the end: WHAT THE F*! Ya see, this is one of the few songs that goes with it's music video. Cuz it is obvious she loves Clean Bandit. They follow her, she dreams about them, and she hallucinates. She turns completely crazy, dies, and guess what? Who was supposed be her dad was actually a Clean Bandit member, and there's a look of eerie satisfaction on his face. You all said this was a beautiful song!! O___o!!! WELL I'LL BE F***!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
