Time Alone with You Lyrics

[Intro: Jacob Collier]
Two, three, four, five

[Verse 1: Daniel Caesar & Jacob Collier]
If you wanna get sunshine (All night)
Walkin' on the rooftop (Moonlight)
I'ma go get some
Time alone with you (Ah-ooh)
We could go dancing (All night)
Soak up the disco (Moonlight)
I dig it when I get that
Time alone with you

[Chorus: Jacob Collier, Both]
It's a beautiful Sunday morning
You see the sun up in the sky
It's gonna shine on you
(When I'm alone with you)

[Verse 2: Daniel Caesar & Jacob Collier]
If you wanna get dirty (All night)
Slippin' on the mudslide (Moonlight)
We could cut the chit chat (Gimme that)
Time alone with you (Oh yeah)
We could skip the border (All night)
Swim around the ocean (Moonlight)
Man, the octopus like when you give me that
Time alone with you (Ah-ooh)
[Chorus: Jacob Collier, Both]
It's a beautiful Sunday evening
And when you see that little moon
You know I'm gonna let it shine on you
Open up the sky, and let the groove fall down
(When I'm alone with you)
Take you down in the sunshine
(When I'm alone with you)
It's gonna shine on you

[Verse 3: Daniel Caesar, Both]
All night, starbright
Shines down on me
It's all good, it's alright
You're all I see
At times, we may find
Our hearts grow heavy
It's all good, it's alright

You're all I need

[Verse 4: Daniel Caesar, Jacob Collier, Both]
I know you wanna
Make it to nirvana
Lay all day in bed with me
And
teach me how to love ya (Teach me how to love ya)
You wanna be my partner
Well, baby, please
believe me
Loving me ain't easy
I'ma need some time with you (Ooh yeah)
You gon' need some time with me
Who knows what we're gonna do
(Ooh yeah)
All I hope is you don't leave
[Verse 5: Daniel Caesar, Both]
All night, starbright (All night)
Shines down on me (I'ma need some time with you)
It's all good, it's alright (It's alright)
You're all I see (You gon' need some time with me)
At times we may find (May find)
Hearts grow heavy (Heart's been growing heavy, yeah)
It's all good, it's alright
You're all I need (All I hope is you don't leave)

[Verse 6: Jacob Collier, Both]
Who's that?
The most beautiful girl in the whole wide world
And she's mine, all mine
And I want her to know that my feelings show
I need time
(Gimme time alone with you)
The most beautiful girl in the whole wide world
And she's mine, all mine
And I want her to know that my feelings show
I need time
(Gimme time alone with you)

The most beautiful girl in the whole wide world
And she's mine, all mine
And I want her to know that my feelings show
I need time
(Gimme time alone with you)

[Verse 7: Daniel Caesar, Jacob Collier, Both]
All you wanna get's sunshine (All night)
Walkin' on the rooftop (Moonlight)
We could cut the chit chat (All night)
I dig it when I get that (Moonlight)
I'ma go get some
Time alone with you
Time alone with you
Time alone with you

Genius Answer

From Jacob Collier’s Twitter during the Djesse listening party, celebrating the 2 year anniversary of Djesse Vol. 1:

Daniel Caesar is a KING, but you already know that. We hung out in my room last year (2019) and came up with this song. Watching Daniel work was a privilege of the highest order. Then we went to see The Joker after supper. It was C R A Z Y.
