Songfacts®:

  • The British singer-songwriter knew he wanted this to be the closing track on his self-titled album because, "it was a really embracing title of trying to move on from anything you've been through and be brave enough to be reciprocal to love, and I thought that was really nice. The song seems to star this couple who are on the run, but you're never really sure what it's from, and I think it's just really history itself of the things they've been through. It's the idea of comfort and being there for each other. You know, sometimes you do have to be a little bit brave to fall in love, 'cause a lot of people you're worried you're going to get hurt or whatever, but you have to be out there if you want it. That seemed like a nice idea to end the record on."
  • Lawson co-wrote this with London producer Tim Ross, who also shares a credit on "Someone For Everyone."
