Emeli Sandé - There Isn’t Much lyrics
[Emeli Sandé - There Isn’t Much lyrics]
I bought myself an aeroplane
To see how high that it could take me
I made it past the milky way
But it seems I'm still not even close
I'm having dinner with the king, the queen
I swear I'm living out my wildest dreams
I'm trying to give the DJ all of me
But I'm dancing like a ghost
'Cause no matter who I love
And no matter who I touch
I'm afraid there isn't much
Without you
See, look at all my stuff
You would think I had enough
But I swear there isn't much
Without you
I bought a house and named it after you
I keep it dark to kill the afternoons
I fill my bedroom up with big balloons
But there's still not much to hold
(Still nothing to hold)
I threw a party and I hoped you'd come
I guess the postman delivered wrong
They're trying to set me up
With Mike or John
But I'd rather just get old
'Cause no matter how I'm loved
(I'm loved, I'm loved)
And no matter how I'm touched
(I'm touched, I'm touched)
I'm afraid there isn't much
(Isn't much, isn't much)
Without you
See, look at all my stuff
(My stuff, my stuff)
You would think I had enough
(Enough, enough)
I'm afraid there isn't much
(Isn't much, isn't much)
Without you
Oh, God willing
You'll find it in your heart
And whisper I'm forgiven
I've taken you for granted, baby
I admit it
But all I really want
All I really want
Baby, all I really want is you
I regret it, I get it
There's nothing and there's
No one quite like you
I'm begging, you got me
On my knees this afternoon
Pathetic
But all I really want
Baby, all I really want is you
'Cause no matter how I'm loved
(I'm loved, I'm loved)
And no matter how I'm touched
(I'm touched, I'm touched)
I'm afraid there isn't much
(Isn't much, isn't much)
Without you
See, look at all my stuff
(My stuff, my stuff)
You would think I had enough
(Enough, enough)
But I swear there isn't much
(Isn't much, isn't much)
Without you
To see how high that it could take me
I made it past the milky way
But it seems I'm still not even close
I'm having dinner with the king, the queen
I swear I'm living out my wildest dreams
I'm trying to give the DJ all of me
But I'm dancing like a ghost
'Cause no matter who I love
And no matter who I touch
I'm afraid there isn't much
Without you
See, look at all my stuff
You would think I had enough
But I swear there isn't much
Without you
I bought a house and named it after you
I keep it dark to kill the afternoons
I fill my bedroom up with big balloons
But there's still not much to hold

But I'd rather just get old
'Cause no matter how I'm loved
(I'm loved, I'm loved)
And no matter how I'm touched

I'm afraid there isn't much
(Isn't much, isn't much)

About the song Emeli Sandé - There Isn’t Much
Emeli Sandé: "The whole lyric is about everything I thought I wanted being nothing without the right person to share it with. Having experienced the heights of the industry, winning these awards, living in London, every dream I'd had as this kid in Scotland was coming true, but I just wasn't in a place where I could really enjoy it or just feeling happy and settled in myself. So that song is really just about everything being an illusion apart from love. Now that I've found true love and finally the right life partner, I could really put genuine emotion into the video performance and every time I perform the song."
