SAM SMITH - WRITING'S ON THE WALL
I've Been Here Before
But Always Hit The Floor
I've Spent A Lifetime Running
And I Always Get Away
But With You I'm Feeling Something
That Makes Me Want To Stay
I'm Prepared For This
I Never Shoot To Miss
But I Feel Like A Storm Is Coming
If I'm Gonna Make It Through The Day
There There's No More Use In Running
This Is Something I Gotta Face
If I Risk It All
Could You Break My Fall?
How Do I Live? How Do I Breathe?
When You're Not Here I'm Suffocating
I Want To Feel Love Run Through My Blood
Tell Me Is This Where I Gitve It All Up?
For You I Have To Risk It All
'Cause The Writing's On The Wall
A Million Shards Of Glass
That Haunt Me From My Past
As The Stars Begin To Gather
And The Light Begins To Shatter
Know That I Won't Be Afraid
If I Risk It All
Could You Break My Fall?
How Do I Live? How Do I Breathe?
When You're Not Here I'm Suffocating
I Want To Feel Love Run Through My Blood
Tell Me Is This Where I Gitve It All Up?
For You I Have To Risk It All
'Cause The Writing's On The Wall
The Writing's On The Wall
How Do I Live? How Do I Breathe?
When You're Not Here I'm Suffocating
I Want To Feel Love Run Through My Blood
Tell Me Is This Where I Gitve It All Up?
How Do I Live? How Do I Breathe?
When You're Not Here I'm Suffocating
I Want To Feel Love Run Through My Blood
Tell Me Is This Where I Gitve It All Up?
For You I Have To Risk It All
'Cause The Writing's On The Wall

Sam Smith Disclosed Some Spectre-Tacular News On September 8 2015 When He Revealed He Had Recorded The Theme Song For The 24th James Bond Movie "Spectre".

They Said 'Have A Go At The Song'" Smith Disclosed. "It's The Quickest I've Ever Written A Song - It Took 20 Minutes... And They Loved It!"
"Writing's On The Wall" Is An Expression That References An Event Foreshadowing A Disaster.

This Debuted At #1 On The Uk Singles Chart, The First Ever James Bond Theme Song To Reach The Summit. Before Smith's Chart-Topper, The Two Highest-Ranking Bond Themes Were Adele's "Skyfall" And Duran Duran's "A View To A Kill," Which Both Peaked At #2.
