Matt Simons – With you Lyrics
[Verse 1:]
Honest where I start from
I try and impart my wisdom
A combination of truth and fear
That’s the way it’s always been
My father and his before him
At times we hurt the …
[Verse 1:]
Honest where I start from
I try and impart my wisdom
A combination of truth and fear
That’s the way it’s always been
My father and his before him
At times we hurt the …
[Verse 1]
Oh, pity me
I’m so alone and so blue
My friends have all gone away
Their friendliness too
[Pre-Chorus]
It was I on my own
With no need to belong
And I wanted to die
That’s when …
[Verse 1]
Got some money, got some cash
I’m rich and now I’m sad
And I wonder if I’m sad about the money that I have
Got some boats on my plane
At the hotel …
[Intro]
Yeah
Polishin’ a goddamn sword, you know what I’m sayin’?
Polishin’ a sword (Uh, uh, uh, uh)
Concrete Family, Concrete Industries, Concrete Boys up, always, never down
(And this beat from Cash, not from …
When the only sound in the empty street
Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet
That belong to a lonesome cop
I open shop
When the moon so long has been gazing down

I might be anyone
A lone fool out in the sun1
Your heartbeat of solid gold2
I love you, you’ll never know3
When the daylight comes you feel so cold,4
You know
I’m too afraid of my heart to let you go5
Waiting for the fire to light6
Feeling like we could do right
Be the one that makes tonight
‘Cause freedom is a lonely road7
We’re under control8
We’re under control
I might be anyone
A lone fool out in the sun
Your heartbeat of solid gold
I love you, you’ll never know
When the daylight comes you feel so cold,
You know
I’m too afraid of my heart to let you go
Waiting for the fire to light
Feeling like we could do right
Be the one that makes tonight
‘Cause freedom is a lonely road
We’re under control
Waiting for the fire to light
Feeling like we could do right
Be the one that makes tonight
‘Cause freedom is a lonely road
We’re under control
We’re under control
0Someone who stands alone in the hot sun is certainly a fool. Calvin Harris feels lost like such a person in his efforts to confess his love to a girl.
“Your heart beat of solid gold” is a poetic way of admiring the good will and life this girl brings to the world. However, her potential is squelched by her resistance to the idea of sharing her heart with the world. This song is about fear, especially the fear of being one’s true self.
Humans often fear to confess their love – or to pursue love at all.
Even though daylight warms us, it requires us to share ourselves for who we are. We can’t hide behind the metaphorical “night.”
Calvin Harris refers more directly to the song’s theme of fear here.
Sometimes instead of taking action, people wait until the perfect opportune time to pursue something meaningful. Unfortunately, these opportunities almost never come.
To live free is to live without fear. Most people prefer to maintain the status quo and live in fear, so being fearless is a lonely experience.
Our fear controls us, according to Calvin Harris.
