Is It In
Simon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So
I don't even know what the game is
I don't really know how to play it
You're taking you're time getting back
Oh
I thought we left that back in high school
The way you got me waiting here for you
Ain't nobody got time for that
You don't need to lie to me let it be known
If your social anxiety's having a go
Yeah, whatever it is you can always let me know

'Cause I don't want to be somebody you miss
I don't want to be somebody you wish
You had another chance to change the ending
I can't wait around if we're pretending
I don't want to keep some promise you broke
I don't want to be somebody that you used to know
I said it once, I'll say it once again

In case you missed it
(Doo, doo)
(Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
(Doo, doo)
In case you missed it (doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
(Doo, doo)
Say it once again
In case you missed it

I'm doing all I can to be patient
But I don't really know how to fake it
Why you playing with my head?
I feel like what we have is a good thing
But it's harder to remember the feeling
When you're leaving me on read
Now most of the time I do better alone
But when we're together I feel like I'm home
Yeah, I gotta believe that you feel it
Let me know

'Cause I don't want to be somebody you miss
I don't want to be somebody you wish
You had another chance to change the ending
I can't wait around if we're pretending
I don't want to keep some promise you broke
I don't want to be somebody that you used to know
I said it once, I'll say it once again

In case you missed it
(Doo, doo)
(Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
(Doo, doo)
In case you missed it (doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
(Doo, doo)
Say it once again
In case you missed it
(Doo, doo)
(Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
(Doo, doo)
In case you missed it (doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
(Doo, doo)
Say it once again

You don't need to lie to me let it be known
If your social anxiety's having a go
Yeah, whatever it is
I don't want to be somebody you miss
I don't want to be somebody you wish
You had another chance to change the ending
I can't wait around if we're pretending
I don't want to keep some promise you broke
I don't want to be somebody that you used to know
I said it once, I'll say it once again

In case you missed it
(Doo, doo)
(Doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
(Doo, doo)
In case you missed it (doo-doo, doo-doo-doo)
(Doo, doo)




Say it once again
In case you missed it
