When You Are Near

by Emeli Sandé

on Distant Worlds (2017)

Toubled mindsets
Fighting over who was more Intelligent
All out to prove that they were
Important
All out to claim that they had
All of the sense, at the expense
Of their time

I recall
I was rolling with those fools
Till I found you
Beautiful, honest humble you,
And that is why I love you so very much
See I don't need no big ideas
When you, you are near

La la la la,
La la la la,
La la la la

With politics,
To justify themselves when they stop
Stop giving tips
On how to do things, things that really ain't any
Of their business
It's easy to spot these people with their
Life on their lips
But these hypocrites
Think they're in a camouflage I,

I remember
I was rolling with those fools
Till you kissed me
Over and over again,
And here is why I need you
So, very much

See I don't need no big ideas
When you, you are near

La la la la,
La la la la,
La la la la

Oh oh you, saved me from
All I've finally become
you, made me see
That I simply didn't need an apology
For me without a dictionary

So just promise me this one thing, that
You'll never leave me
Don't ever leave me oh if you leave me
All I'll have left is
Me and these silly
Me and these silly
Me and these silly big ideas
