[Intro]
Huh?
Ooh, Bighead on the beat
Aye, Lil Pump, Lil Pump, Lil Pump, Aye
Ronny J, bitch
[Chorus]
I got designer fromy head to my toe
I’m on a Xan and my bitch on that coke

Taz countin’ all this fuckin’ money
CashMoneyAP
Git, git, grrrrrah
Git, git, grrrrrah
Desiigner
I’m on some real life shit, life, real life shit
Never satisfied when you’re goin’ past it
Throws a lot of money put …
Like a phoenix I will rise from the flame
Flipping eyes on the ashes I remain
You used me up
Yeah, you thought I was the same girl
But I’m not the same girl
Living …
Ferina
They don’t know, now they know
I’ve been too busy getting money
I’ve been too busy playing these games that they play
That they want to play with me
M-m-m-Murda
She tell that I ball …
We are what
These days we all need follow
These days we’re feeling hollow
Give back the only motto
We are what
They say it all gets better
They say it won’t last forever
Can someone pull …
[Verse 1: Jess Glynne]
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 rather be 1
I would wait forever, exulted in the scene
As long as I am with you, my heart continues to beat 2
[Pre-Chorus: Jess Glynne]
With every step we take, Kyoto to The Bay
Strolling so casually 3
We’re different and the same, gave you another name 4
Switch up the batteries 5
[Chorus: Jess Glynne]
If you gave me a chance I would take it
It’s a shot in the dark but I’ll make it 6
Know with all of your heart, you can’t shame me
When I am with you, there’s no place I rather be
N-n-n-no, no, no, no place I rather be (3x) 7
[Verse 2: Jess Glynne]
We staked out on a mission to find our inner peace 8
Make it everlasting so nothing’s incomplete 9
It’s easy being with you, sacred simplicity
As long as we’re together, there’s no place I rather be 10
[Pre-Chorus: Jess Glynne]
[Chorus: Jess Glynne]
[Bridge]
Hmmmmmmmmmm, Hoooooooooo
Be (9x)
Yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah, yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
24Jess talks of the mileage that they have covered so far but which she enjoys because she has her love or fans with her. This song features a Japanese fan of the band. It can also be a literal meaning of the time that they have spent together or the challenges that they have been through together.
To her time ceases to have meaning when they are together and she is willing to wait as long as she can, just to be with this person.
Jess sings that all the distance in the world still means as long as they are dedicated to each other. Kyoto is in Japan, while the Bay is the short name for San Francisco Bay Area, so even with that distance between them, their love remains the same even if they have to transverse that distance on foot, step by step.
She sings that even in their differences they are still one, the differences could be in colour, language or even beliefs but these are not a hindrance to them and they even have pet names for each other.
This can be interpreted that when apart they talk on phone and if the phone dies all they have to do is change batteries and continue their conversation. Alternatively, when they do meet it is like a recharge to their relationship.
Jess is willing to do anything humanely possible just to be with her love even though it means going and doing by faith. It is a chance that she is not willing to give up.
She asks him to be sure that their relationship is something that he wants but she also believes in their love and that nothing can get between them. She believes that he will not let her down or fail her, that’s why she would rather be with him.
Jess says that together they spent some time to find the meaning of their relationship and what binds them together.
She requests that they find out what they really want or need from each other while on their mission, so that the foundation of their relationship can be built on something solid that will last forever.
Jess admits that being with him feels natural just as long term relationships should feel, without any pressure to be different or act different, that is why she is choosing him above the rest.

Really? I beg to differ, but perhaps I’m going too far?
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 really love this song and enjoy singing it as I’m only a twelve-year-old little girl with big dreams. I believe that this song is representing a long distance relationship between Jess who is probably Japanese since that’s where I figured the music video took place (and she also mentioned Kyoto to the Bay in the song) and an American male. I believe that when they do see each other, she makes the most of it, which is why she said “When I am with there’s no place I’d rather be”. I never really understood this song and since I saw the music video, I’ve been questioning certain things. At first I thought it was about love, but then Jess was holding hands and spinning around with a girl (I doubted that she was a lesbian), so I figured it might’ve been a deep friendship song. I now know it’s about love. Thanks explainedlyrics.com!

Jess Glynne isn’t Japanese. She’s a red headed whites woman. Lol

I don’t think it’s the San Francisco Bay, I believe she’s referring to the Tokyo Bay.
