Simon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm never scared to tell you everything I want to be
Me, I'm receptive, and for that I don't need sympathy
Is it too much for you to come and meet me in between?
One foot out the door, I know you usually don't play for keeps
(Ohh) I came alone, you're close to the edge
If I let go, how close will you get?
Well, every piece of me held on to you when I pulled away
But I can't stay, I can't stay
And I'm hoping I can save this
Though I can't always see the other side
Some days I couldn't face you
So I went collecting stones from many different tides
But it won't stop me from walking as tall as I am
I can't wonder why, whatever keeps you up at night doesn't wake me up too
And that's not a letter goodbye
But I can't take your hand if you don't want this life
I'm never scared to tell you everything I want to be
Me, I'm receptive, and for that I don't need sympathy
Is it too much for you to come and meet me in between?
One foot out the door, I know you usually don't play for keeps
(Ohh) I came alone, you're close to the edge
If I let go, how close will you get?
Well, every piece of me held on to you when I pulled away
But I can't stay, I can't stay
Our energies fight to find a middle ground
Stable now, fastened with shoestrings
And I want you to know, it's okay
It won't break me if it is you that I'm losing
Cause it's been the best thing for me to spend my time with you
You are the sound of the birds and the morning due
You are the sun shinning down to make the flowers bloom
And I could go tomorrow, knowing it was always you
Promise that I'm on my way to you
This is a never ending rollercoaster I must say
I'm taking my chances and learning to follow through
All the money in the world can't make me feel the same
I promise that I'm on my way to you
And I'll do the best I can to give you every part of me
Even when you tell me there's nothing I can do
And I'll be happy even if you don't decide to stay
I'm never scared to tell you everything I want to be
Me, I'm receptive, and for that I don't need sympathy
Is it too much for you to come and meet me in between?
One foot out the door, I know you usually don't play for keeps
(Ohh) I came alone, you're close to the edge
If I let go, how close will you get?
Well, every piece of me held on to you when I pulled away
But I can't stay, I can't stay
Cause it's been the best thing for me to spend my time with you
You are the sound of the birds and the morning due




You are the sun shinning down to make the flowers bloom
And I could go tomorrow, knowing it was always you

Thanks for posting! I was waiting anxiously for over a week for another game!

@TripleSGames

Sorry, one of my lights was defective and I had to get it replaced under warranty so I couldn't film for 2 weeks.

@aznnp77

Sounds like a game for really smart kids. I'd probably forget the pattern after the 3rd light.

@danielleanderson6371

You’d be surprised what you can accomplish. I think with enough practice you could set a really high score. Also don’t forget that intelligence comes in many forms. I’m pretty good with numbers, but there are some really talented painters out there who can create wonderful works of art while not being math nerds like myself. I’m not any smarter than those people; we’re just smart in different ways.

@rochelleb973

I bought this the other day for my grands. I can only remember 6 in a row. They always out do me 😂😂😂😂

@MatthewsAviationChannel

I just got a Simon today and I’m looking forward to playing with it 😀

@soramembrino82
