Writing’s on

    the Wall

    Artist: Sam Smith

    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

    Then 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 give 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 fade

    When all hope 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 give it all up?

    For you I have to risk it all

    ’Cause the writing’s on the wall

    The writing’s on the wall

    ...

    Background

    This is from the 2015 James Bond film “Spectre.” The single became the first Bond movie theme to reach No. 1 in the U.K. Singles Chart. It won a Golden Globe Award for best original song Sunday. The song is very slow and surprisingly restrained, at times floating by on resonant piano notes, with all the focus on Smith’s intense vocals.This is from the 2015 James Bond film “Spectre.” The single became the first Bond movie theme to reach No. 1 in the U.K. Singles Chart.
