Jacob Banks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Dear Simone, I'm all alone
And I need you here, to wipe my tears away
Dear Simone, where have you been?
'Cause I need you near, 'cause I'm drowning in my fear
So I'm driving down this road
With no place, no place to go
Nothing but memories
Only you and I, only you and I will ever know
Tears falling down my face
Used to be tears of joy
You took my lovin away

Oh, dear Simone, I'm all alone
And I need you here
To wipe my tears away
Dear Simone, where have you been?
'Cause I need you near, 'cause I'm drowning in my fear
Paying the falls in my end
The soul is mend, here I stand for you baby
What's in life pass me by
Only if you were by my side
I tried everything I should
I gave everything I could to you baby
Pouring my words up to the sky
Oh, I'm not gonna say goodbye
So if you ever change your mind up baby
Just call me, call me babe, call me to you darling
I've waiting, waiting, waiting for you, for you, my baby

Waiting for you, I'm all alone
And I need you here
To wipe my fucking tears away
Dear Simone, where have you been?
Man I need you near, because I'm drownin in my fuckin fears
Dear Simone, I'm all alone
And I need you here
To wipe my fucking tears away
Dear simone, where have you been?




Oh I need you here
To wipe my fucking tear away

And dear Simone
I'm all alone
And I need you here
To wipe my tears away
Dear Simone
Where have you been?
Cause I need you here
Cause I'm drowning in my fears

[Verse 1]
So I'm driving down this road
With no place, no place to go
Nothing but memories, only you and I
Only you and I will ever know, ay
Tears falling down my face, used to be tears of joy
You took my loving away
Oh

[Chorus]
Dear Simone
I'm all alone
And I need you here
To wipe my tears away
Dear Simone
Where have you been?
Cause I need you here
Cause I'm drowning in my fears

[Verse 2]
Pen frozen in my hand
A soulless man, here I stand for you baby
Watching life pass me by
Only if you were by my side
I tried everything I should
I gave everything I could to you, baby
Pouring my words up to the sky
Oh I'm not gonna say goodbye

[Bridge]
So if you ever change your mind now, baby
Just call me, call me back home to you darling
And I'll be waiting, waiting
Waiting for you, for you my baby
Waiting for you

[Chorus]
I'm all alone
And I need you here
To wipe my fucking tears away
Dear Simone
Where have you been?
Man, I need you near
Because I'm drowning in my fucking fears

Dear Simone
I'm all alone
And I need you here
To wipe my fucking tears away

Dear Simone

Oh I need you near
To wipe my fucking tears away

My mother's name was Simone, unfortunately she died some time.
The nostalgia that this music brings me is wonderful.
Thank you very much for this sentiment.
