The Waterboys – Fisherman's Blues Lyrics 8 years ago
It could be a song about leaving a place which has bad memories, such as a city where traumatic things happened or even being given the right to die with dignity after a long battle with an illness.

Tracy Chapman – The Promise Lyrics 8 years ago
This seems like a song about a woman who gave her child up for adoption.
It could also be interpreted as a song for a loved one who has passed on.

Sam Smith – Nirvana Lyrics 9 years ago
I think this song is about people having an affair and stealing moments to have sex.

"Oh, we both know the truth
If it were the real me and you
This wouldn't be the right thing to do"

They are both leaving their identities as partnered adults for a moment and putting them aside. They both know it is wrong to have sex with each other but they are doing it anyway.

"It's too late to run away from it all
It's too late to get away from it all
I'm done with running so I give it to you"

They can't run away from their commitments but they can give their bodies to each other.

"This moment has caused a reaction
Resulting in a reattachment
Girl, you take me to Nirvana
I don't think this will last
'Cause you're here in my arms"

Nirvana is a state of bliss. The ecstasy of illicit lovemaking cannot last forever because the partnered woman can only be in his arms for a short time.

"Oh, baby
Oh, baby
Oh, we both feel the same
I'm not gonna give you my name
And I don't think you want that to change"

He's not going to marry this woman and give her his surname. He knows she doesn't want a commitment, just some fun on the side with him.

"We're in this together
We don't know who we are
Even if it's moving too fast
Maybe we should take it too far"

They are both being bad together and they don't even recognize themselves because of what they are doing. He's telling her to go ahead and cheat with him no matter what the consequences.
