[Verse 1]
My mind runs away to you
With a thought I hope you'll see
Can't see where it's wandered to
But I know where it wants to be

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm waiting patiently
Though time is moving slow
I have one vacancy
And I wanted you to know that

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
So sick of this lonely air
It seems such a waste of breath
So much that I need to share
So much to get off my chest

[Pre-Chorus]
I'm waiting patiently
Though time is moving slow
I have one vacancy
And I wanted you to know that

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
And make it to me
And make it to me
And make it to me
And make it to me

Sam Smith

Sam Smith was born on 19th May 1992 and grew up in a rural village on the border of Hertfordshire and Cambridgeshire, the nearest town being Bishops Stortford. They’re the oldest of three siblings and are said to be close to their younger sisters. Their mother is a successful City of London trader and their father a stay-at-home dad who brought up the children.

Smith showed an early talent for singing, and their parents responded by arranging singing lessons from the age of eight with professional jazz singer and songwriter, Joanna Eden. At the early age of seventeen, they left school to pursue their dream, living in a small one-bed flat and working in a London pub, but ended up isolated and beset by loneliness.

Sam knew they were gay, they said, for as long as they could remember. They suffered bullying at school and were shocked to find that even in London—close to gay communities—they were subjected to homophobic attacks. These negative experiences, combined with an inherently emotional nature, inform their songwriting and delivery. The soulful, beautifully rich tone of their voice and the subject of the lyrics ‘speak’ to many people and have led to their success.
