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
On …
All my friends, they’re different people1
Anxious like the ocean in a storm2
When we go out, yeah, we’re electric
Coursing through our bodies ’til we’re one3
And why mess up a good thing, baby?4
It’s a risk to even fall in love5
So, when you give that look6 to me
I better look back carefully
‘Cause this is trouble, yeah this is trouble7
I said ooh, ooh
You got me in the mood, mood8
I’m scared
But if my heart’s gonna break before the night will end
I said, ooh, ooh we’re in danger9
Sleeping with a friend, sleeping with a friend10
All my friends, stay up past midnight
Looking for the thing to fill the void11
I don’t go out much like I used to
Something ’bout the strangers and the noise12
And why leave when I got you, baby?
It’s a risk but babe, I need the thrill13
I never said you’d be easy
But if it was all up to me
I’d be no trouble, hey, we’re in trouble14
I said ooh, ooh
You got me in the mood, mood
I’m scared
But if my heart’s gonna break before the night will end
I said, ooh, ooh we’re in danger
Sleeping with a friend, sleeping with a friend
We are both young, hot-blooded people
We don’t wanna die alone15
Two become one, it could be lethal16
Sleeping with a friend
All my friends
All my friends
All my friends
All my friends
I said ooh, ooh
You got me in the mood, mood
I’m scared
But if my heart’s gonna break before the night will end
I said, ooh, ooh we’re in danger
Sleeping with a friend
(All my friends) Sleeping with a friend
(All my friends)
If my heart’s gonna break before the night will end
I said, ooh, ooh we’re in danger
Sleeping with a friend17
Neon Trees, speaking from the perspective of one man, says that his friends are different than him.
While this simile is not so important to the overall meaning of the song, it sets the song’s tone: confusion. Going out in the late evenings in a group of people looking for a good time can be disorienting. One might experience conflicting emotions in such a circumstance, resulting in out-of-character decision-making.
Neon Trees references the unity that is built among friends while clubbing and partying late.
Here, Neon Trees refers to a friendship. Sometimes romance or sexual encounters can spoil a friendship.
This is because the friendship could get spoiled.
That is, a sexually provocative glance.
Neon Trees sings about the need to be careful when enjoying one’s time with friends, as it could tragically result in spoiling a friendship.
That is, the mood for playing sex.
“In danger” means that the two parties involved in a sexual encounter are jeopardizing their relationship with sexual mischief.
Having sex with a friend always complicates the friendship. That’s the point of this song.
“The void” is the emptiness they feel inside their hearts as they try to find happiness through partying, boozing, impressing others, having sex, etc.
The man has started to see things for what they are, prioritizing other aspects of life above late-night partying and thrill-seeking.
That is, the thrill of a hot, passionate romance.
The stanza serves to inform the friend that the commitment to romance has begun, despite the risks to the friendship.
These lines are sung to rationalize the romantic encounter so that both parties allow it to continue.
The romance could be deadly for their friendship, but they commit to trying it out anyway.
This song is about the messy complications between sex, friendship, romance, and emotions.
