Lyrics: Sampha Sisay
Music: Sampha Sisay
Navigatin' my way through eyes
That I do not recognise, no
Divided attention, mine
Might misguide my intentions, oh, I
And I tend to hold you high
I wanna be your samurai, yeah
And I tend to simplify
And ask myself questions, like
Do we need to have a mention
Just to feel we have a home?
Do I have to have a kingdom, oh
Just to put you on a throne?
We could manage expectations
We can go high if you want
Just more buildin', then destruction of
Is the way that we should go
The paradox of choice is, I
I'm always runnin' out of time, I
Inherited these wounds from mine
That the grass is always greener, oh, I
Wrapped up, cocoon, we hide
Governed by the world inside, yeah
See you growin' up inside
I'm gonna be a path through, oh, I
I'm more thankful
For these mornings and open eyelids
I'm more thankful
For this old body with new surprises, no
And I'm more thankful
For I own them what I don't right now
Oh, I don't right now
Do we need to have a mention
Just to feel we have a home?
Do I have to have a kingdom, oh
Just to put you on a throne?
We could manage expectations
We can go high if you want
Just more buildin', then destruction of
Is the way that we should go
Do we need to have a mention
Just to feel we have a home?
Do I have to have a kingdom, oh
Just to put you on a throne?
We could manage expectations
We can go high if you want
Just more buildin', then destruction of
Is the way that we should go
