Happens Lyrics

I see you in the dark
‘Cause I’ve been where you are
You’re too scared show me love
‘Cause you’re too fresh with the scars
Well I don’t have the answers
So I won’t tell you lies
You was there when I was down love
But you gotta live your own life

She said I can’t let this happen
No I can’t let this happen again
I found my love and I
I don’t wanna lose it again

And I
I told you all my secrets lover
No I
I don’t want to have to speak to another my dear
And I
I find it hard to fully trust you
And I
I’m staring at this multi-colored cluster of lust and love

She said I can’t let this happen
No I can’t let this happen again
I found my love and I
I don’t wanna lose it again

And I
I value all that we discover
We set free we set free those emotions left uncovered my dear
An echo
An echo of our time stands before us
Her eyes
Ears and her mouth she looks just like you my dear

I said I can’t let this happen
I can’t let this happen again
I found my love and I
I don’t wanna lose it again

I said I can’t let this happen
No I can’t let this happen again
I found my love and I
I don’t wanna lose it again girl

No I don’t wanna lose you now
No I don’t wanna lose you now
No I don’t wanna lose you now
No I don’t wanna lose you now
No I don’t wanna lose you now
No I don’t wanna lose you now
No I don’t wanna lose you now
No I don’t wanna lose you now

Happens

Hailing from Morden, South London, Sampha Sisay is the youngest of five brothers to Sierra Leonean parents. He discovered music at a young age through his siblings and father's eclectic record collection and started writing songs on the piano. Sampha's initial breakthrough came in 2011 when he co-wrote and sang on half of producer SBTRKT's debut album, and collaborated with Jessie Ware on her track "Valentine." The English singer-songwriter really made a name for himself in 2013 when he co-produced and sung on two tracks from Drake's hugely successful Nothing Was The Same album - "Too Much" and "The Motion." As a result, Sampha was flown out to New York to perform alongside the rapper on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. That same year, he released his Dual EP to rave reviews.

This is one-half of Sampha's double A-sided debut single. He explained the song's meaning to DIY magazine: "It's a ballad about connecting with someone," said the singer. "Just being open to someone and just learning how to keep a connection going. It's about learning from your past, basically."
