Latch
Sam Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You, you enchant me even when you're not around
If there are boundaries, I will try to knock them down
I'm latching on, babe, now I know what I have found
I feel we're close enough
Could I lock in your love?
I feel we're close enough
Could I lock in your love?
Now I've got you in my space
I won't let go of you
Got you shackled in my embrace
I'm latching on to you
I'm so en-captured, got me wrapped up in your touch
Feel so enamored, hold me tight within your clutch
How do you do it, got me losing every breath
What did you give me to make my heart beat out my chest?
I feel we're close enough
Could I lock in your love?
I feel we're close enough
Could I lock in your love?
Now I've got you in my space
I won't let go of you
Got you shackled in my embrace
I'm latching on to you
Now I've got you in my space
I won't let go of you
Got you shackled in my embrace
I'm latching on to you
I'm latching on to you

I just heard this song for the first time 3 weeks ago. My ex-boyfriend had been looking for me for 30 years he arranged for the resturant where we reunited to play this beautiful song and again he played it in the park where we slow danced under the full moon. ;) Play it again Sam...Play it again. #timeisnotyourfriend
@RxQueen413
That's Amazing!! ❤❤
@tsunamieyes
MissJessicaJean Thank you ;)
@Thecreepmine
Nobody needs to know that so it seems quite illogical to post that on YouTube and ruining privacy but whatever...
@tsunamieyes
Kbrusier Who's privacy is ruined? Mine...no its a beautiful reunion of two lost loves and mine to tell whomever I please. But what is logical is you don't have to read it.
@Chakaiki
Enough said.

This song came out the year while we were younger and started dating. My wife walked out to our wedding to this song. Thank you so much Sam for making such a monumental song for us. Together for 11 years, married for 5 ❤

The voice of an angel. I hate when people say he tries to hard to sing this way. Any true voice coach can see he is effortless in his technique. Watch his face, relaxed tounge, and neck. It's pure beauty and talent. Bless you sam
@EmpressEmiyah
I know I am late on this, but honestly even IF he tried hard, why does it matter. It sounds amazing.
@user-tw6iw2ik6z
It really needs hard effort to sing like him, and he is actually doing it. He is one of the best vocalists in the history
