Sudoku
Penelope Isles Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Way to go
You might as well have left it on the floor you know way to go
Numbers know their way of adding up they grow
And so and so
So you know
Should you find
The boxes and the shapes donʼt make a perfect line
Take your time

Working slow
Now thereʼs no point in fighting what is right you know take away go with the flow
I canʼt seem to calculate was i meant to make mistakes
So i hide
And leave the spaces that you fill
And so divide
Lose my mind
Patience times are something i donʼt speak of something i donʼt like
So i find

So i find
I canʼt seem to calculate was i meant to make mistakes
