Nothing But You
The Vamps Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You came crashing in just like I knew you would
No more emptiness
Dot to dot, the feelings that never existed
I'm overdosing over emotions, I know you know this
So can we skip to the good bit?
When you tied me down?
Yeah, I'm fine, I'm blacking out
If I wake up wearing nothing but you
Break into my new apartment
Take the damn keys to my favourite car
And here's the combination to the safe in the closet
It's all yours if you say that you want it
Anything you need, you got
You can have it, keep the lot
Nothing I wouldn't lose if I knew I'd
Wake up wearing nothing but you (yeah)
Wake up wearing nothing but you (yeah)
Wake up wearing nothing but you (yeah)
(Yeah)
(Yeah)
(Yeah)

Busy pillow talking
'Til there's no words left
So come fuck up my head
And I'll let you do it over and over and over and over again
Over and overdosing
Over emotions
I know it's hopeless so can we skip to the moment
When you tie me down?
Steal every piece of me you've found
Yeah, I'm fine
We'll black it out
If I wake up wearing nothing but you
Break into my new apartment
Take the damn keys to my favourite car
And here's the combination to the safe in the closet
It's all yours if you say that you want it
Anything you need, you got
You can have it, keep the lot
Nothing I wouldn't lose if I knew I'd
Wake up wearing nothing but you (yeah)
Wake up wearing nothing but you (yeah)
Wake up wearing nothing but you (yeah)
(Yeah)
(Yeah
(Yeah)
And maybe it's a flaw in me
'Cause honestly I'd let you do your worst
All of the headache, so sad
I let you do what you like
As long as I
(Yeah)
(Yeah)
Wake up wearing nothing but you
Break into my new apartment
Take the damn keys to my favourite car
And nothing I wouldn't lose if I knew I'd
Wake up wearing nothing but you
The lyrics of The Vamps's song "Nothing But You" delve into themes of obsession, vulnerability, and surrender in a tumultuous relationship. The opening lines set a somber tone with references to "sleepless cities dead" and the impact of a significant person entering the singer's life in a way that was both anticipated and destabilizing. The mention of "dot to dot, the feelings that never existed" hints at a sense of confusion and disorientation caused by mixed emotions.
As the song progresses, the singer expresses a sense of being overwhelmed by their emotions and the intensity of their connection with the other person. The lyrics convey a desire to fast-forward to the "good bit" of the relationship, where they feel captivated and restrained in a way that elicits conflicting feelings of both intoxication and blackout. The imagery of being tied down and made a hostage in their own house symbolizes a loss of control and agency in the face of powerful emotions.
The chorus repeatedly emphasizes the idea of waking up wearing "nothing but you," symbolizing a complete surrender to the other person and a willingness to give them access to all aspects of their life. The mention of giving away keys, combinations to safes, and offering anything the other person desires reflects a profound level of trust and willingness to sacrifice everything for the sake of the relationship, highlighting the singer's vulnerability and deep emotional investment.
The lyrics also touch upon the destructive nature of the relationship, with references to unread messages, empty conversations, and the willingness to endure pain and chaos repeatedly. Despite recognizing the flaws and potential harm in the dynamic, there is a confession of allowing the other person to "do their worst," showcasing a complex mix of desire, dependence, and a willingness to endure suffering for the sake of love. Overall, the song portrays a raw, intense, and tumultuous relationship marked by passion, surrender, and a sense of being consumed by the other person.
Line by Line Meaning
Sleepless cities dead
Feeling exhausted and drained from the bustling city life
You came crashing in just like I knew you would
You entered my life in a sudden and predictable way
No more emptiness
Feeling complete and fulfilled
Dot to dot, the feelings that never existed
Connecting nonexistent emotions in a pattern
I'm overdosing over emotions, I know you know this
Feeling overwhelmed by emotions, and you are aware of it
So can we skip to the good bit?
Can we fast forward to the enjoyable part?
When you tied me down?
When you controlled me and restricted my freedom
Made me hostage in my house
Made me feel like a prisoner in my own home
If I wake up wearing nothing but you
If my whole existence revolves around you
Break into my new apartment
Enter my space and invade my privacy
Take the damn keys to my favourite car
Take control of something valuable and important to me
And here's the combination to the safe in the closet
Giving you access to my deepest secrets and vulnerabilities
It's all yours if you say that you want it
Everything I have is yours if you desire it
Anything you need, you got
I will provide for all your needs
You can have it, keep the lot
You can have everything I own, keep it all

Ignoring messages and not responding
Busy pillow talking
Engaged in intimate conversations
'Til there's no words left
Talking until there's nothing more to be said
So come fuck up my head
Upset my thoughts and emotions
If I wake up wearing nothing but you
If my whole life revolves around you
And maybe it's a flaw in me
Acknowledging that there might be a fault in me
'Cause honestly I'd let you do your worst
Because I would allow you to hurt me in the worst way
All of the headache, so sad
Enduring all the pain and sorrow
I let you do what you like
I allow you to act however you please
As long as I
As long as I have you in my life
