Sight Of You

## *Sucker Punch* Track List

"**Sight Of You**" is a song by Sigrid from her debut studio album, *Sucker Punch*. It is the seventh track of the album.

## Recording and composition

In this song, Sigrid describes the struggles she sometimes has to face whilst touring. She also describes how both her band and (the sight of) her fans help her get through it.

## About the song

> "I used ABBA’s “Super Trouper” as a reference in the studio -- this is a song about how touring has been for the past few years, how sometimes the airline loses your luggage and it sucks. One time our luggage was sent to Nairobi, and we’ve never been there. We were in France! It’s always really fun to play shows, but I remember that was really hard, because it was a festival week when we were waking up at 4 a.m. every day. I couldn’t have done that without my band. They’re some of my closest friends, and that’s what “Sight of You” is about: I just need one look from them. It was inspired by a festival we did in Ireland last year called Electric Picnic. We were so tired that day, but the crowd was huge and so into it, so I kept looking back at the band like, “Holy shit! We’re doing this!” I actually started crying on stage, but they were happy tears, and this is about that rush of happiness and adrenaline."

## Lyrics

[Verse 1]

It's a lonely feelin', wavin' you goodbye

I don't know what I'm leavin' until the moment is gone

[Pre-Chorus]

Checkin' in, never checkin' out

I get tired, kinda grumpy

But I'm never in doubt that you've got my back

When I see you again

[Chorus]

Sometimes it's like nothin' is going my way

Even though I know I'm getting up on that stage

But now that I'm here, I got reason to believe

Just the sight of you is getting the best out of me

Just the sight of you is getting the best out of me

[Verse 2]

The airline lost my luggage, still got all this weight

And all the things I'm done with are showin' up again

[Pre-Chorus]

Breakin' in but I won't break down

I get tired, kinda grumpy

But I'm never in doubt that you've got my back

When I see you again

[Chorus]

Sometimes it's like nothin' is going my way

Even though I know I'm gettin' up on that stage

But now that I'm here, I got reason to believe

Just the sight of you is getting the best out of me

Just the sight of you is getting the best out of me

Just the sight of you is getting the best out of me

[Bridge]

And I'll be damned if I ever forget

Just how lucky I am to be

Close to you when I need it the most

Can you hold me if I wanna leave?

[Pre-Chorus]

Breakin' in but I won't break down

I get tired, kinda grumpy

But I'm never in doubt that you've got my back

When I see you again

[Chorus]

Sometimes it's like nothin' is going my way

Even though I know I'm getting up on that stage

But now that I'm here, I got reason to believe

Just the sight of you is getting the best out of me

Sometimes it's like nothing is going my way

Even though I know I'm getting up on that stage

But now that I'm here, I got reason to believe

Just the sight of you is getting the best out of me

Just the sight of you is getting the best out of me

Just the sight of you is getting the best out of me
