Make It To Me
Sam Smith · In The Lonely Hour (Deluxe Edition) [2014]
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
(Chorus)
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 down
And make it to me
Make it to me
(Verse)
So sick of this loneliness
It seems such a waste of breath
So much that I need to say
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
(Chorus)
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 down
And make it to me
Make it to me
And make it to me
Make it to me
