Drowning shadows - Sam Smith

Running round
Chasing hearts
Chasing bodies
To fix the past

I don't know how I reached this place
So far from heaven, so far from grace
And I run to give in to the pressure
Cause I feel like the city's got the better of me
Oh, this casual love
Isn't what it seems

And I try to imagine something closer
And somebody who is good for me
I'm so tired of all this searching
Do I, do I, do I, do I go home to nothing?
Or stay out for more?
Give in to someone?
Or knock down my door?
Or drown all my shadows?
Drown them like before
Drowning shadows, once more

The more I drink
The more I drown
I found that thinking
I wrote it down

The more I rise above it all
The less I care about the fall
And I run to give in to the pressure
Cause I feel like the city's got the better of me
Oh, this casual love
Isn't what it seems

And I try to imagine something closer
And somebody who is good for me
I'm so tired of all this searching
Do I, do I, do I, do I go home to nothing?
Or stay out for more?
Give in to someone?
Or knock down my door?
Or drown all my shadows?
Drown them like before
Drowning shadows, once more
Once more
Once more

Go home to nothing?
Or stay out for more?
Give in to someone?
Or knock down my door?
Or drown all my shadows?
Drown them like before
Drowning shadows, once more

Lay me down - Sam Smith

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
The night
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
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 by your side
Can I lay by your side
Next to you, you?

Stay with me - Sam Smith

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

Hush, don't speak
When you spit your venom
Keep it shut
I hate it
When you hiss and preach
About your new messiah
Cause your theories catch fire

I can't find your silver lining
I don't mean to judge
But when you read your speech
It's tiring
Enough is enough

I'm covering my ears like a kid
When your words mean nothing
I go la la la
I'm turning up the volume when you speak
Cause if my heart can't stop it
I find a way to block it
I go

Na na, la la la la la, na na na na na
La la na na, la la la la la, na na na na na,
I find a way to block it
I go
La la na na, la la la la la, na na na na na
La la na na, la la la la la, na na na na na

If our love is running out of time
I won't count the hours
Rather be a coward
When our worlds collide
I'm gonna drown you out before I lose my mind

I can't find your silver lining
I don't mean to judge
But when you read your speech
It's tiring
Enough is enough

I'm covering my ears like a kid
When your words mean nothing
I go la la la
I'm turning up the volume when you speak
Cause if my heart can't stop it
I find a way to block it
I go

Na na, la la la la la, na na na na na
La la na na, la la la la la, na na na na na,
I find a way to block it
I go
Na na, la la la la la, na na na na na
La la na na, la la la la la, na na na na na,
I find a way to block it

La la, la la la la la, na na na na na
La la na na, la la la la la, na na na na na,
I find a way to block it
I go
La la na na, la la la la la, na na na na na,
La la na na, la la la la la, na na na na na,

I'm covering my ears like a kid
When your words mean nothing
I go la la la
I'm turning up the volume when you speak
Cause if my heart can't stop it
I find a way to block it
I go

I'm covering my ears like a kid
When your words mean nothing
I go la la la
I'm turning up the volume when you speak
Cause if my heart can't stop it
I find a way to block it

Na na, la la la la la, na na na na na
La la na na, la la la la la, na na na na na
