Lyrics

Rather Be

Musique progressive

Thoughts of you running through my head
As I lie awake in my bed, ooh
Know you want this, don't be afraid, baby
And now we're standing face to face
Baby, tell it to me now
Everything you dreamed about
Don't make sense to run around and ooh, it's now or never

Remember this night
Show me how you feel
Let me know it's real tonight, oh

There's nowhere I'd rather be than here with you, ooh ooh, you, you
There's nowhere I'd rather be than here with you, ooh ooh, you, you
There's no place I'd rather be

Feel the energy in this room
So high, you take me to the moon, oh yeah
Oh, what we got is something else
So fire, I can't help myself
Wanna see some fireworks
Let our love explode
So I'll rerun every episode
I'm in overload

Remember this night
Show me how you feel
Let me know it's real tonight, oh

There's nowhere I'd rather be than here with you, ooh ooh, you, you
There's nowhere I'd rather be than here with you, ooh ooh, you, you
There's no place I'd rather be
(No place I'd rather be)

There's nowhere I'd rather be than here with you, ooh ooh, you, you
There's nowhere I'd rather be than here with you, ooh ooh, you, you
There's no place I'd rather be
