Lyrics
Subtitles ready(Intro) YoMar! (Low, humming bass, the sound of rain against glass) Ooh, ooh... Yeah. (Verse 1) The city’s screaming through the drywall Sirens bleeding through the glass I see the ghosts of people I used to know Moving way too fast They say the party’s just getting started That I’m missing out on the gold But they don’t see the way the moonlight Is catching on your shoulder, turning silver into soul. (Pre-Chorus) I could be anywhere else but here Chasing a high that’ll disappear by June I could be the center of the room But I’d still be looking for you. (Chorus) I’d rather be nowhere if you aren’t the view I’d rather be silent than talking to someone who isn’t you Let the world spin off the axis, let the lights all fade to grey As long as I’m anchored in the space where you lay There’s a million places I’m supposed to be But there’s nowhere else I’d rather be. (Verse 2) My phone is glowing on the nightstand Twenty missed calls from the life I led But I’m preoccupied with the rhythm Of the way you breathe inside our bed They’re drinking champagne out of plastic They’re trading secrets they don’t keep But I’ve got everything I’m after Right here, watching you sleep. (Bridge) (Tempo slows, vocals get deeper and more resonant) It’s a beautiful tragedy outside Everyone’s lonely and trying to hide But in this four-cornered universe The rest of the world is just a verse And you’re the whole song. Yeah, you’re the whole song. (Chorus) I’d rather be nowhere if you aren’t the view I’d rather be silent than talking to someone who isn’t you Let the world spin off the axis, let the lights all fade to grey As long as I’m anchored in the space where you lay There’s a million places I’m supposed to be But there’s nowhere else I’d rather be. (Outro) (Soft piano chords, fading out) Nowhere else... Just stay right here. Don’t move. I’m exactly where I need to be. (Rain sounds fade into silence)
