Simple Plan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't take this
I need somewhere to go
I need you
I'm so restless
I don't know what to do
We've had our rough times
And now you're just slipping away
Give me this chance
To make the wrongs right, to say:
Don't don't don't walk away
I promise
I won't let you down (down)
If you take my hand tonight
I promise
Well be just fine this time
If you take my hand tonight
Without you I go through the motions
Without you its just not quite the same
Without you I don't want to go out
I just want to say
That I'm sick of these fights
I'll let you be right
If it stops you from running away
Give me this chance
To make the wrongs right, to say:
Don't walk away
I promise
I won't let you down(down)
If you take my hand tonight
I promise
Well be just fine this time
If you take my hand tonight
Take my hand
Take my hand
I promise
Take my hand
I promise
Take my hand
I promise
I won't let you down(down)
If you take my hand tonight
I promise
Well be just fine this time
If you take my hand tonight
Take my hand tonight
I won't let you down
Take my hand tonight

What an incredible trip down memory lane... Especially that guitar 🎸 solo at the end is just fucking awesome... Simple Plan one of the greatest rock bands in history without a doubt...

Recuerdo la primera vez que los escuché como si hubiese sido hace poco y sus canciones me alegran el día...

IMO one of the best pop/rock albums of the era. I don't care for their later stuff where they turned into a full on boy band, but the first two records are very powerful, heartfelt, & beautifully written.
Missing Since Monday
Absolutely love their first two albums. We play late 90s / early 2000s style pop punk just like this! Check us out if you have a minute :)
Julia
The third album is very heartfelt too, give it a try!

The newest album really reignites the heart and meaning behind their music. Give it a shot if you ever get the chance

My favorite Simple Plan song as of now.

This is the very first simple plan song I ever heard and I instantly loved their music. 8 1/2 year old me had good taste. I'm almost 19 and I still love simple plan. Yeah, they've aged well
Jovanne Keliste
Love this song as always since 2003 😉🤘
