Rather Be With You Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was halfway up on the wings of a fantasy
Looking out for love, didn't know what was good for me
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I stay out every night
And live it up, live it up, live it up, live it up now baby
But nothing feels the same
[Chorus]
I'd rather be with you
Then I look into his eyes and I realize
I'd rather be with you
Though I try to trick myself, there's nobody else
I'd rather be with you
I'd rather be with you
[Verse 2]
Fillings days with distractions, only a waste of time
No one can compare, only you made me come alive
[Pre-Chorus 2]
You're the one I need
So give it up, give it up, give it up now baby
You only have to say
I was halfway up on the wings of a fantasy
Looking out for love, didn't know what was good for me
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I stay out every night
And live it up, live it up, live it up, live it up now baby
But nothing feels the same
[Chorus]
I'd rather be with you
Then I look into his eyes and I realize
I'd rather be with you
Though I try to trick myself, there's nobody else
I'd rather be with you
I'd rather be with you
[Verse 2]
Fillings days with distractions, only a waste of time
No one can compare, only you made me come alive
[Pre-Chorus 2]
You're the one I need
So give it up, give it up, give it up now baby
You only have to say
[Chorus]
I'd rather be with you
Then I look into his eyes and I realize
I'd rather be with you
Though I try to trick myself, there's nobody else
I'd rather be with you
I'd rather be with you
[Bridge]
No more fighting, need to get your love
I know you're trouble, but you're my number one
And I'm gonna leave it all behind
Cause I'd rather be with you
I'd rather be with you
Then I look into his eyes and I realize
I'd rather be with you
Though I try to trick myself....
[Chorus]
I'd rather be with you
Then I look into his eyes and I realize
I'd rather be with you
Though I try to trick myself, there's nobody else
I'd rather be with you
I'd rather be with you
I'd rather be with you
Then I look into his eyes and I realize
I'd rather be with you
Though I try to trick myself, there's nobody else
I'd rather be with you
I'd rather be with you
[Bridge]
No more fighting, need to get your love
I know you're trouble, but you're my number one
And I'm gonna leave it all behind
Cause I'd rather be with you
I'd rather be with you
Then I look into his eyes and I realize
I'd rather be with you
Though I try to trick myself....
[Chorus]
I'd rather be with you
Then I look into his eyes and I realize
I'd rather be with you
Though I try to trick myself, there's nobody else
I'd rather be with you
I'd rather be with you
[Outro]
And I realize, and I realize....
And I realize, and I realize....

What did Sinéad Harnett say about "Rather Be With You"?
Genius Answer
Speaking with Nylon Magazine in December 2016, Harnett commented:
I wrote “Rather Be With You” after I’d broken up with someone because they’d done something really stupid, and we hadn’t spoken for a few weeks. I wasn’t upset when I wrote it though. I’d gotten to a mischievous stage where I was toying with the idea of getting back with him, because no one else compared. In the video, we aimed to mirror the ups and downs within the relationship, whilst keeping that mischievous and playful tone.
