Nirvana Lyrics

Oh, baby
Oh, baby
Oh, we both know the truth
If it were the real me and you
This wouldn't be the right thing to do

Now the room is all hazy
We're too lost in the fumes
I feel like it's just me & you
Yeah, we got nothing to lose

It's too late to run away from it all
It's too late to get away from it all
I'm done with running so I give it to you

This moment has caused a reaction
Resulting in a reattachment
Will you take me to Nirvana?
I don't think this will last
'Cause you're here in my arms

Oh, baby
Oh, baby
Oh, we both feel the same
I'm not gonna give you my name
And I don't think you want that to change

We're in this together
We don't know who we are
Even if it's moving too fast
Maybe we should take it too far

It's too late to run away from it all
It's too late to get away from it all
I'm done with running so I give it to you

This moment has caused a reaction
Resulting in a reattachment
Will you take me to Nirvana?
I don't think this will last
'Cause you're here in my arms

Will you take me to Nirvana?
I don't think this will last
'Cause you're here in my arms

Nirvana

This is the title track of Sam Smith's debut EP. He explained the song's meaning to Interview Magazine: "There were four of us in the room and we all wrote it about things individually. It's about doing something at night time, one night, and not worrying commitment or worrying about anything else in life. It's about something—a person, a thing—taking over you and taking you to somewhere just for a little bit."

I've Told You Now Lyrics

You know what I mean
It's like walking in the heat all day with no water
It's like waiting for a friend
Watching everybody else meet theirs on that corner
Or losing in an argument
Although you're right can't get your thoughts in order

Still I refrain
From talking at you, talking on
You know me well
I don't explain

But what the hell
Why do you think I come 'round here on my free will?
Wasting all my precious time
Oh, the truth spills out
And oh I
I've Told You Now

You know what I mean
Although I try my best I still let down the team
You're everything I want
Why should I resist when you are there for me?

Still I refrain
From talking at you, talking on
You know me well
I don't explain

But what the hell
Why do you think I come 'round here on my free will?
Wasting all my precious time
Oh the truth spills out
And oh I
I've told you now

I've told you now
And I've told you now!
And I've told you now!

Still I refrain
From talking at you, talking on
You know me well
I don't explain

So what the hell
Why do you think I come 'round here on my free will?
Wasting all my precious time
What the hell
Why do you think I come 'round here on my free will?
Wasting all my precious time

Oh, the truth spills out
And oh I
I've told you now

I've Told You Now

Sam Smith and Eg White wrote this song, which is about unrequited love. White's resumé also includes Will Young's Ivor Novello Award winning "Leave Right Now," James Morrison's UK Top 10 hit, "You Give Me Something" and Adele's international smash, "Chasing Pavements." It was the first tune that the pair penned together.

Smith wrote this song about a heartbreak when he fell for a guy who turned out to be straight, and thus not interested in his advances. Smith says he thought the guy was interested, so after more than a few drinks, he poured his heart out to him, only to be rejected.

Introducing this song at concerts during his first tour, Smith would often ask the audience, "Has anyone ever been in love with someone who doesn't love you back?"

The track that you hear on In the Lonely Hour is actually the demo version that Smith recorded for the album. He had tonsillitis on the day that he recorded it, and he loved the fact that the listener can hear that.

Lay Me Down Lyrics

Yes I do, I believe
That one day I will be, where I was
Right there, right next to you
And it's hard, the days just seem so dark
The moon, and the stars, are nothing without you
Your touch, your skin, where do I begin?
No words can explain, the way I’m missing you
Deny this emptiness, this hole that I’m inside
These tears, they tell their own story

You told me not to cry when you were gone
But the feeling’s overwhelming, it's much too strong
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
And make sure you’re alright
I’ll take care of you,
And I don’t want to be here if I can’t be with you tonight

I’m reaching out to you
Can you hear my call? (Who's to say you won't hear me?)
This hurt that I’ve been through
I’m missing you, missing you like crazy

You told me not to cry when you were gone
But the feeling’s overwhelming, it's much too strong
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
And make sure you’re alright
I’ll take care of you
And I don’t wanna be here if I can’t be with you tonight

Lay Me Down tonight, lay me by your side
Lay me down tonight, lay me down
Lay me down tonight, lay me by your side
Lay me down tonight, lay down
Can I lay by your side, next to you, you
And make sure you’re alright
I’ll take care of you
And I don’t wanna be here if I can’t be with you tonight

Lay Me Down

This yearning love song is the lead single from In the Lonely Hour. It was released in the UK on February 15, 2013. The song entered the British singles chart at #46 after being referenced by host James Corden at the 2014 BRIT Awards.

Smith explained to MTV News how this was the song that kick-started his music career. "Disclosure heard 'Lay Me Down,' and [after that] it was like a domino effect," he said. "We wrote 'Latch' together, and then Naughty Boy heard 'Latch' and we wrote 'La La La' together, and then I had a number-one single in the UK."

The song was written by Sam Smith with Jimmy Napes, who helped write Disclosure's hits "Latch," "White Noise" and "You & Me." and newcomer Elvin Smith. The Disclosure pair produced the tune.

Smith performed the song along with "Stay With Me" during his debut appearance on the March 29, 2014 episode of Saturday Night Live.

The song secured Smith a record deal. London Records' Nick Raphael recalled to Billboard magazine: "I remember hearing 'Latch' and thinking, 'No person can go through that many vocal ranges at one time without going through a computer. And then he played 'Lay Me Down,' and I remember getting in the car afterward, calling the business affairs guy and saying, 'Whatever we do, we must close this deal.'"

Sam Smith went back into the studio in January 2015 to re-record the tune for its single release. The new version of the song was done with its original producers Jimmy Napes and Steve Fitzmaurice.

The music video was directed by Ryan Hope, whose other clients include George Michael ("White Light"), 2 Chainz ("Feds Watching") and Wiz Khalifa ("Remember You"). The clip was filmed in a South East London church and starts with a funeral before turning into a wedding scene, with Smith exchanging vows with his male partner. The singer said: "With this video myself and Ryan Hope the director have decided to make a statement and showcase something we passionately believe in."

"This video shows my dreams that one day gay men and women and transgendered men and women all over the world, like all our straight families and friends, will be able to get married under any roof, in any city, in any town, in any village, in any country."

Sam Smith partnered with John Legend to record a new version of the song for Comic Relief. The special track was released on March 9, 2015, with all proceeds going to the UK charity.

The collaboration with John Legend topped the UK singles charts. It was Smith's fourth #1 in his home country, following the singer's guesting on Naughty Boy's "La La La" and his own "Money On My Mind" and "Stay With Me."

Much of In the Lonely Hour deals with a case of unrequited love Smith suffered when he fell for a guy who turned out to be straight, and thus not interested in his advances. The singer explained during his gig at the O2 Academy in Brixton, London that he wrote "Lay Me Down" after deleting the unresponsive guy from his WhatsApp account.

Stay With Me Lyrics

Guess it's true, I'm not good at a one-night stand
But I still need love 'cause I'm just a man
These nights never seem to go to plan
I don't want you to leave, will you hold my hand?

Oh, won't you Stay With Me?
'Cause you're all I need
This ain't love it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me

Why am I so emotional?
No it's not a good look, gain some self control
And deep down I know this never works
But you can lay with me so it doesn't hurt

Oh, won't you stay with me?
'Cause you're all I need
This ain't love it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me

Oh, won't you stay with me?
'Cause you're all I need
This ain't love it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me

Oh, won't you stay with me?
'Cause you're all I need
This ain't love it's clear to see
But darling, stay with me

Stay With Me

The third single from In the Lonely Hour, this was played for the first time during the March 25, 2014 episode of Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show at 7:30 p.m. The song was released to iTunes on May 18th alongside remixes from Darkchild, FX and Wilfred Giroux.

In the Lonely Hour finds Smith tackling his unsuccessful love life. This track finds him singing about a person he fell for one night, but who doesn't return the same sentiment. He told Rolling Stone: "I deal with all the different aspects of loneliness."

Smith later admitted that the person he is singing about throughout this song and much of the In the Lonely Hour album is a man. He waited to come out as gay because he didn't want it to influence how listeners perceived his music. To his relief, there was very little reaction to his admission - it simply didn't matter to most people.

Smith wrote this with James Napier and William Phillips. "The song just flowed out of us so naturally," Smith told NME, adding that it only took about 30 - 40 minutes to write.

Napier, also known as Jimmy Napes, co-wrote the Clean Bandit song "Rather Be" and the Naughty Boy tune "La La La," which features Smith.

Phillips is better known as "Tourist," a popular DJ/producer from Brighton. His EP Patterns was released in 2014.

Smith wrote and recorded the original demo of this song with it's co-writer Jimmy Napes. At first, the song had just a verse and the chorus, and was under two minutes long. An executive at Smith's label Capitol Records named Nick Raphael arranged for Smith and Napes to work with veteran producer Steve Fitzmaurice, whose name shows up in the credits for albums by Seal, Rod Stewart and Tina Turner.

On June 20, 2013, Fitzmaurice joined the pair at Napes' studio, where they beefed up the song with an organ riff and made some changes to the structure. The next morning, Fitzmaurice made a quick demo mix of the song and left for a gig in India.

In November, Fitzmaurice was called back to the recording sessions, which were now taking place at RAK Studios in London. They recorded a new version of "Stay With Me" using a live band, but found themselves "chasing the demo," meaning they couldn't get it any better than what they had back in June. Fitzmaurice ended up mixing parts of the RAK recording (including the bass, which was played by Jodi Milliner) with pieces of the demo version. Fitzmaurice estimates that about 90% of the song came from the demo, however.

Smith is backed in the video by the London-based Enchorus gospel choir, but this was just for show - the choir didn't sing o the track.

Smith's own layered vocals provide the illusion of a choir in the song. "I layered my voice probably about 20 times. I stood in different parts around the entire room and I would layer my voice more and more and more, harmonizing, all that kind of stuff," he explained to NME.

Everything clicked when he heard the results, which were processed using a variety of panning and echo effects by co-producer Steve Fitzmaurice. "I remember crying because the whole song suddenly made sense," said Smith. "It was like that one touch just turned the song into... it just sounded anthemic."

Smith told 4Music the song "is my attempt at an anthem for the lonely. I wanted to write a song about those moments in the morning after a one night stand."

Smith took over an entire three and a half minute advertising break in a world broadcasting first, and transmitted a live music performance of this song to a sold-out crowd at London's Roundhouse. The live commercial break aired on Channel 4 at approximately 22.45 during Alan Carr: Chatty Man.

A remix by Darkchild featuring a vocal contribution by Mary J. Blige was released on June 2, 2014. "Working with Mary J. Blige is one of the biggest highlights of my career so far," said Smith. "I remember holding her album in my hands in the car when I was a young boy. To meet your idols is a magical thing, but to work with them is truly a dream come true."

"I'm so honored to have had the chance to work with Sam Smith," said Blige. "Sam's true soulful voice… is the first of this kind I have heard since Luther Vandross, Freddie Jackson and all the great soulful male voices from the '80s. I'm completely blown away by his talent, soul and the sincerity."

This wasn't the first time that Smith and Blige have worked together. The pair were special guest performers during Disclosure's show at New York's Terminal 5 in January 2014. (Blige previously supplied guest vocals on Disclosure's "F For You.")

In the Lonely Hour sold 166,000 copies in its initial week in the US. This was more than any other debut album by a UK male artist in its first seven days since Soundscan started tracking sales in 1991.

Smith performed the song along with "Lay Me Down" during his debut appearance on the March 29, 2014 episode of Saturday Night Live. It was a breakthrough performance for Smith, but it almost didn't happen. "I tried to beg my managers and my team to not do SNL because I thought it was way too early," he told Entertainment Weekly.

The song runs just 2:52, which informed the approach for the entire album, whose 10 tracks total just 32:47.

By keeping the songs short, Smith and his producers were able to keep them simple and make his vocals the focal point.

Speaking with On Air with Ryan Seacrest's Tanya Rad, Smith discussed the rawness of the song. "I'm an emotional guy and I think unlike a lot of men in the industry and in music, I'm willing to show that emotional side," he said. "I don't have an bravado to put in front, and I'm just showing my raw self."

The drums on this song are the same ones recorded at the original demo session. Co-producer Jimmy Napes played them and put them on a loop. It was a bare-bones recording done with just one overhead microphone, but it ended up suiting the song perfectly, thanks to its imperfection.

"The loop wasn't quite right, it wasn't tied to a grid, and so the timing was slightly off," the other producer Steve Fitzmaurice told Sound on Sound. "The other instruments reacted to this, and altogether this created something magical that we couldn't get in any other way. Many people tried to put different drums on the track, and I even tried to correct the loop and fit it to a grid, and overdubbed drums to that. But when I listened to it a few days later, I immediately realized that it was no good and I took it all off again."

There is no guitar on this song - the instrumentation is just piano, bass, a drum loop, tambourine, organ and strings (which were overdubbed later).

This won Best Song at the 2014 MOBO Awards. Smith was also triumphant in the Best R&B/Soul Act, Best Male, Best Album categories at the ceremony, which celebrates Music of Black Origin.

This was USA Today's Song of the Year for 2014. They said: "'Stay With Me's gospel-tinged piano and Smith's sweet, heart-tugging falsetto struck a chord of universal yearning, like the living embodiment of Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' Same Love. A chorus of voices joined him on the refrain, driving home his plea, as though their presence might make him feel less alone."

Following speculation that the piano melody resembles Tom Petty's 1989 single "I Won't Back Down," Petty and co-writer Jeff Lynne were added to the publishing on the tune in January 2015. According to reports, Smith's attorneys agreed to pay Petty and Lynne a 12.5 percent royalty credit on the song.

Both Smith and Petty stated that the agreement was amicable, and no lawsuit was ever threatened. "All my years of songwriting have shown me these things can happen," said Petty. "Most times you catch it before it gets out the studio door but in this case it got by. Sam's people were very understanding."

This won for Song of the Year and Record of the Year at the 2015 Grammy Awards. Smith performed the song at the ceremony, where he also won for Best New Artist and Best Pop Vocal Album. Mary J. Blige joined him on stage for the second verse and duetted with him for the rest of the performance.

When Smith collected his trophy for Record of the Year, he said, "I want to thank the man who this record is about, who I fell in love with last year. Thank you so much for breaking my heart, because you got me four Grammys."

William Phillips explained to Billboard magazine how he ended up co-penning this song. "I had been writing music as Tourist for about three years," he said. "Someone wanted to manage me, and it turned out the people who wanted to manage me also managed Sam. They were like, 'Before we manage you, why don't we do some sessions? We've got this guy Sam Smith and this guy Jimmy [Napes].'"

"So we sat in a session," Phillips continued. "I'd written with Jimmy a couple of times before I met Sam. Jimmy helped me write my third Tourist EP, and we really bonded over that. I got put in the studio with Sam and Jimmy - we didn't have any expectations. We just wanted to meet each other. Did ['Stay With Me'] in about half an hour."

Phillips was tinkling the ivories when the trio penned the song. "I've always played the piano," he told MTV News. "I taught myself how to play the piano and the piano is kind of what I do. That's what I did in that session; I had these three chords that I thought were nice. We didn't really sit down to write a specific sentiment. We just felt what was right."

In The Lonely Hour broke the record for the longest unbroken run of a debut album in the UK Top 10. The LP it gazumped was Emeli Sandé's first set, Our Version Of Events, which logged 66 consecutive weeks in the top tier.

This was named Song of the Year at the 2015 BMI Awards. The honor is given to the most-performed song of the previous year by UK or European writers in the BMI catalogue on US radio and television.

Leave Your Lover Lyrics

I don't have much to give, but I don't care for gold
What use is money, when you need someone to hold?
Don't have direction, I'm just rolling down this road
Waiting for you to bring me in from out the cold

You'll never know the endless nights, the rhyming of the rain
Or how it feels to fall behind and watch you call his name

Pack up and leave everything
Don't you see what I can bring
Can't keep this beating heart at bay
Set my midnight sorrow free
I will give you all of me
Just Leave Your Lover, leave him for me
Leave your lover, leave him for me

We sit in bars and raise our drinks to growing old
Oh, I'm in love with you and you will never know
But if I can't have you I'll walk this life alone
Spare you the rising storms and let the rivers flow

You'll never know the endless nights, the rhyming of the rain
Or how it feels to fall behind and watch you call his name

Pack up and leave everything
Don't you see what I can bring
Can't keep this beating heart at bay
Set my midnight sorrow free
I will give you all of me
Just leave your lover, leave him for me
Leave your lover, leave him for me
Leave your lover, leave him for me

Leave Your Lover

Many of the songs on Sam Smith's In the Lonely Hour album, including this one, were inspired by his unrequited love for one person. He explained to Interview magazine. "My album focuses on unrequited love quite a lot because I don't think it's spoken about enough in music. I've been through it myself and I found it hard to find songs that were about that, so I've definitely tried to make that a part of my album."

Smith added: "When I was going through that, instead of searching for songs by other artists to relate to I could listen to my own music. I'd do a song in the studio and it would explain everything I'm going through so perfectly that when I went home and I felt down I could listen to that to make me feel better. It's a documentation of my life. I think it's just important to put it out there."

The Luke Monaghan-directed video follows a love triangle involving Smith and two close friends set in Paris. The female is played by model Daisy Lowe, who is the daughter of Gavin Rossdale, the lead singer of Bush. The clip marked the first time that Smith publicly addressed his sexuality.

Smith told 4Music : "Leave Your Lover is about someone I fell in love with last year. I tried to make this track sound pretty because the message of the song is pretty sad."

Smith felt closure after telling his unrequited love that the In the Lonely album was based on him. "I told him before the album came out and it gave me a lot of closure actually," the singer revealed to ITN News. "It made the whole; it just put a bookend at the end of the record. It was amazing. I'm so happy I did it."

Sam Smith wrote this song with Simon Aldred, who is the frontman of the rock band Cherry Ghost. Smith told Digital Spy the story of the song. "We were in his living room having a cup of tea and I was completely entranced by the chords," he said.

"I immediately came up with that lyric, 'Leave your lover, leave him for me'. I remember feeling so proud that I got the word 'him' in. We just put that down as a demo and it took about an hour to write - then we went and got a bagel together!"

This song was produced by Joel Little, who was the co-songwriter of Lorde's Pure Heroine album. Little told Billboard magazine about how Smith and him worked together in the studio. "We get into the room together and talk about what we've been listening to and what we feel like working on," he said. "I'll just start by putting a beat together. Sometimes I have things, like starting points in songs prepared, and we'll go through those, but if there's nothing getting us particularly excited, I'll just make something. We'll play around with a few chords until he finds something to sing over the top and we'll take it from there."

Sam Smith commented to 4Music : "I feel like this gives a nod to Robyn - an artist I truly adore. It's a dark lonely heavy song."

Good Thing Lyrics

I had a dream I was mugged outside your house
I had a dream in a panic you came running out
For a moment you were sure I'd die on you
For a moment I believed you loved me too
But life is never like this, and you're never strong

Too much of a Good Thing won't be good for long
Although you made my heart sing, to stay with you would be wrong
Too much of a good thing won't be good anymore
Watch where I tread before I fall

We'd talk maybe 20 times a day
And still I never say what I want to say
I thought I wouldn't need to
I guess I read you wrong

Too much of a good thing won't be good for long
Although you made my heart sing, to stay with you would be wrong
Too much of a good thing won't be good anymore
Watch where I tread before I fall

You refuse to see this, don't see it anymore
I have made the decision not to answer your calls
Cause I put everything out there and I got nothing at all

Too much of a good thing isn't good and you know
I watch where I walk before I fall
Before I fall

Good Thing

Sam Smith wrote this song with Eg White (Adele, Will Young). He told 4Music : "This track is me at my most vulnerable. I had no energy when writing this and this is the demo. It's me at my rawest."

The song is a track from Smith's debut LP In The Lonely Hour. He told The Sun: "This album is about me falling in love with someone who didn't want me back, which has happened many times."

This was one of two tracks on In the Lonely Hour that Sam Smith penned with Eg White ("I've Told You Now" was the other one). He recalled to Digital Spy : "With all the songs we did together, we wrote in a very odd way. We didn't actually start making music at the beginning of the session, we would sit and he would just ask me about what I was going through."

"With this song, I showed him my text messages. I was showing him some things I had been saying between me and another guy, and he was writing down everything I was saying. He started playing some music and the song was then basically already written. 'Good Thing', for me, is the darkest song on the record. If you actually listen to my vocal, I'm not even trying to sing or sound pretty because I was so upset and sad. I kind of loved that and I feel like it really came across in the song."

Like I Can Lyrics

He could be a sinner, or a gentleman
He could be your preacher, when your soul is down
He could be your lawyer on a witness stand but
He'll never love you Like I Can, can

He could be a stranger, he gave a certain glance
He could be a trophy, of a one night stand
He could have your humor, but I don't understand cause
He'll never love you like I can, can, can

Why are you looking down all the wrong roads
When mine is the heart and the soul of the song
There may be lovers who hold out their hands but
He'll never love you like I can, can, can

A chance encounter of circumstance
Baby he's a mantra, keeps your mind entranced
He could be the silence in this mayhem, but then again
He'll never love you like I can, can, can

Why are you looking down all the wrong roads
When mine is the heart and the soul of the song
There may be lovers who hold out their hands but
He'll never love you like I can, can, can

We both have demons, that we can't stand
I love your demons, like devils can
If you're still seeking an honest man
And stop deceiving Lord please

Why are you looking down all the wrong roads
When mine is the heart and the soul of the song
There may be lovers who hold out their hands but
He'll never love you like I can, can, can

Like I Can

This song was inspired by Oleta Adams' "Get Here." Smith told 4Music : "I used that same format with the list of ways that he will never love you like I can."

Many of the songs on In The Lonely Hour were penned by Smith about his unrequited love for another man. He told The Sun: "I was the only one in the relationship. We never even kissed, nothing ever happened. He highlighted something about myself - that I was really lonely. I'd never been in a relationship before and that was starting to affect me."

The black-and-white music video, directed by Sophie Muller (Gwen Stefani, Beyonce, Ellie Goulding), shows Smith with a bunch of guys at a bachelor party.

Make It to Me Lyrics

My mind runs away to you
With the thought I hope you'll see
Can't see where it's wandered to
But I know where it wants to be

I'm waiting patiently though time is moving slow
I have one vacancy and I wanted you to know that

You're the one designed for me
A distant stranger that I will complete
I know you're out there we're meant to be
So keep your head up and Make It to Me
And make it to me

So sick of this lonely air
It seems such a waste of breath
So much that I need to say
So much to get off my chest

I'm waiting patiently though time is moving slow
I have one vacancy and I wanted you to know that

You're the one designed for me
A distant stranger that I will complete
I know you're out there we're meant to be
So keep your head up and make it to me
Make it to me

Make It to Me

This is the closing track from the deluxe version of In the Lonely Hour. Smith explained to Radio.com that the album tackles his lack of a love life. "I've never been in a relationship before," he revealed. "When I was writing this album, I really delved into that fact. I delved into [how] I fell in love with someone who didn't love me back, last year. I really went inside myself and I wanted to write an album for lonely people, because I don't think there's been enough music out there that talks about unrequited love."

Smith told 4Music regarding this song: "I wanted to finish this album with a hopefully message. This is my grand mating call haha."
