Rather Be Lyrics

[JANE]
Oh, oh
Woah, yeah

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'd rather be

[KITTY with NEW DIRECTIONS]
I would wait forever
Exalted in the scene
As long as I am with you
My heart continues to beat

[SPENCER]
With every step we take
Kyoto to The Bay
Strolling so casually

[SPENCER with ALISTAIR]
We're different and the same
Get you another name
Switch up the batteries

[RODERICK (& JANE) with KITTY & NEW DIRECTIONS]
If you gave me a chance (I would take it)
It's a shot in the dark (but I'll make it)
[MADISON & RODERICK with KITTY & NEW DIRECTIONS]
Know with all of your heart you can't shake me

[RODERICK with KITTY, MADISON, & NEW DIRECTIONS]
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be

[JANE with NEW DIRECTIONS]
N-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
N-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
N-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be

[JANE]
Ooh-ooh

[MYRON]
We set out on a mission
To find our inner peace
Make it everlasting
So nothing's incomplete

[JANE (& MASON)]
It's easy being with you
(Sacred simplicity)
As long as we're together
(There's no place I'd rather be)
[MASON with KITTY (& JANE)]
With every step we take
Kyoto to The Bay
Strolling so casually

We're different and the same
Get you another name
Switch up (The batteries)

[JANE]
Yeah

[RODERICK (& JANE) with KITTY & NEW DIRECTIONS]
If you gave me a chance (I would take it)
It's a shot in the dark (But I'll make it)

[MADISON & RODERICK with KITTY & NEW DIRECTIONS]
Know with all of your heart you can't shake me

[RODERICK with KITTY, MADISON, & NEW DIRECTIONS]
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be

[JANE with NEW DIRECTIONS, (NEW DIRECTIONS)]
N-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be (No, no, no)
N-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be (No, no, no)
N-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be

[JANE, (KITTY & RODERICK)]
Yeah (Be)

[KITTY]
Ooh-ooh

[JANE]
Be, be, be, be, be
Be, be, be, be

[JANE with NEW DIRECTIONS]
Yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah-e-yeah, yeah, yeah

[JANE & RODERICK with KITTY & NEW DIRECTIONS, (RODERICK with KITTY & NEW DIRECTIONS)]
(If you) gave me a chance I would take it
It's a shot in the dark but I'll make it

[MADISON & RODERICK with KITTY & NEW DIRECTIONS]
Know with all of your heart you can't shake me

[RODERICK with KITTY, MADISON, & NEW DIRECTIONS, (JANE)]
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be (Be)

[MYRON with KITTY & NEW DIRECTIONS, (NEW DIRECTIONS), {JANE}]
N-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be (No, no, no)
N-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be (No, no, no)
N-n-no, no, no, no place I'd rather be {No, no}

[JANE]
When I am with you, there's no place I'd rather be
