Lyrics

Sampha's Plea (feat. Sampha)

Oh, please, oh, please
Oh, please, yeah, yeah, (mm)
(Mm-m-mmm)

Oh, please, could you help me to be
More proactive instead of reactive?
Act on truth instead of distractin'
Let it strain through when I need a language, oh

Oh, please, could you help me to be, (mm)
Stay patient instead of just snappin'?
Stay rooted instead of just packin'?
I've been vacant, I've been somewhere out, I've been lackin', oh, oh

Oh, please, I
Oh, please, I need the sun through thе trees
I need the cooling of the breeze
I need my reflection by the sea, I need

Oh-ho, oh-woah, please, (mm)
And I'm down on my knees
And I'm lookin' for the water to beam out of space
To refresh my faith

To make me feel like there's more to life than what's beyond
More to life than, uh
Oh, please, oh, please
Oh, please, oh, please
Oh, please

No, please, don't leave me in debt, I
There's a future I need to invest, I
There's a seed that I need to protect, I
Zero in and laser those threats, I

Oh, please, don't leave me distressed, I
Oh, I need to relieve these regrets, I
Yeah, but, please, don't leave just yet, I
I still need your force like a Jedi, mm, yeah

And girl, I'm beggin', beggin', beggin' you
Oh, please, oh, please
I've beggin', beggin', beggin' you
Oh, star soul, please

I've beggin', beggin', beggin' you
Oh, please, oh, please
I'll be beggin', beggin', beggin' you, (mm)

Please, don't leave me like this
No, please, don't leave me like this, no, no
Please, don't leave me like this, no
Please, don't leave me like this, no

Please, don't leave me like this, no
Please, don't leave me like this, no
Please, don't leave me like this, no
Please, don't leave me like this, no
