In an interview with Clara Amfo for BBC Sounds Sam said they wanted “So Serious” to be “like a cute pop song” but “deep lyrically”. The story of Sam’s relationship break-up is searingly sad.
Yet the result is like an ironic version of ‘If You’re Happy and You Know it Clap Your Hands’. It is light...
[Verse 1]
Put your hands in the air if you sometimes ever get sad like me
Put your fingers on your chest and your body and breathe, let it be
Don't find it hard to say so
I'll say it, "I get lonely"
Put your hands in the air if you sometimes ever get sad like me
[Pre-Chorus]
Sad like me, wait patiently
And you're gonna be free
Wait patiently
[Chorus]
I get so serious sometimes
My emotions sittin' on a wire
And I gotta be out my mind
'Cause the second that I'm happy and I'm fine
Suddenly there's violins and movie scenes
And cryin' rivers in the streets
And, God, I don't know why I get so serious sometimes
(So serious) So serious sometimes
[Verse 2]
I remember last summer in the city
Makin' plans and you felt like mine
Look at me and I felt so Hollywood
But, baby, then you changed your mind
I got so fuckin' close to feelin' so good, so satisfied
I remember last summer in the city
Makin' plans and you felt like mine
[Pre-Chorus]
Felt like mine, then I froze in time
You changed your mind
And I'll never know why
[Chorus]
I get so serious sometimes
My emotions sittin' on a wire
And I gotta be out my mind
'Cause the second that I'm happy and I'm fine
Suddenly there's violins and movie scenes
And cryin' rivers in the streets
And, God, I don't know why I get so serious
[Bridge]
I get so, oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
[Outro]
Violins and movie scenes
And cryin' rivers in the streets
And, God, I don't know why I get so serious sometimes
(So serious, so serious) Sometimes
So serious sometimes

The lyrics in this song are some of the deepest on this album. It’s talking about my mental health and my depression. About how you think everything’s okay and then suddenly you’re crying in the street and asking yourself, ‘Why am I so serious? Why am I so dark? Why do I get so down?’ This song is s...
