[Chorus: Emeli Sandé & Tinie Tempah]
If you can see me, then you're probably a little too close
So you think you could love me?
Well, you gotta be stronger than most
'Cause my ex didn't like it, didn't like it
No, my friends, they don't like it, they don't like it
Somebody remind me
When's the right time, when's the right time to let go? (Uh, yeah)

[Verse 1: Tinie Tempah]
Uh, dear whoever the fuck is listening
Tell me of the pleasures of being a normal citizen
'Cause all these fittings in Vivienne's keeping me from fittin' in
Why do I feel safer on stage than in my own living room?
My grandma say that if I leave my drink, I shouldn't sip again
All this touring's got me feeling tired like I'm Michelin
I even noticed physical differences in my siblings
That's why I feel so down even at the top of the River Thames

[Chorus: Emeli Sandé, Tinie Tempah & Both]
If you can see me, then you're probably a little too close
So you think you could love me? (You could love me, huh?)
Well, you gotta be stronger than most
'Cause my ex didn't like it, didn't like it
No, my friends, they don't like it, they don't like it
Somebody remind me
When's the right time, when's the right time to let go?
[Verse 2: Tinie Tempah]
Uh, dear whoever the fuck is witnessin'
Disturbing London, independent Black businessman
Based on the work and the effort I'm gonna give this year
Everybody's getting the presents they want for Christmas, yeah
Life is only ninety-nine winters
So I'm tryna bond with daddy even though I don't like Guinness
Don't be confused by my image, I'm no fuckin' public pin-up
But my heart won't let me say no to a picture

[Chorus: Emeli Sandé, Tinie Tempah & Both]
If you can see me, then you're probably a little too close
So you think you could love me?
Well, you gotta be stronger than most
'Cause my ex didn't like it, didn't like it
No, my friends, they don't like it, they don't like it
Somebody remind me
When's the right time, when's the right time to let go? (Yeah)

[Verse 3: Tinie Tempah]
Uh, dear whoever the fuck is— fuck it
This is Disc-Overy, hate it or love it
I'm now officially the property of the public since licensing my album
And signing a deal to be published
But none of these songs are written for me, nor am I a puppet
Journalists come for interviews but don't stay on the subject
(Yeah, no, yeah) Are we done yet?
Questions you've asked me hundreds, now can you grant me some rest?
Because I'm tired of it, I'm living out my dream and I'm tired from it
If music needed saving, I'd die for it
Music's where my heart is, I'm alive for it (I swear)
I promise
[Bridge: Emeli Sandé]
Under the lights my heart might break
Here in the dark, yeah, we'll be safe
I don't care, no looking back
I've never been, never been, this far from home

[Chorus: Emeli Sandé, Tinie Tempah & Both]
If you can see me, then you're probably a little too close (This is more than music, family)
So you think you could love me? (This is life, man)
Well, you gotta be stronger than most
'Cause my ex didn't like it, didn't like it (Uh)
No, my friends, they don't like it, they don't like it
Somebody remind me
When's the right time, when's the right time to let go?

[Outro: Tinie Tempah]
When's the right time to let go?
