You & Me
Lifehouse Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up, and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time
'Cause it's you and me
And all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me
And all of the people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you
What are the things that I want to say
Just aren't coming out right?
I'm tripping on words
You got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here
'Cause it's you and me
And all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me
And all of the people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you
There's something about you now
That I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right
'Cause it's you and me
And all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you and me
And all of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all of the people
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you
What day is it?
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
The lyrics to Lifehouse's song "You and Me" convey the feeling of being completely consumed by another person. The song begins with a sense of disorientation, as the singer asks what day it is and what month it might be—implying that time is meaningless when he's with this person. He notes that he “can’t keep up, and I can’t back down” and that he's been losing a lot of time recently. This line suggests that perhaps he has been so focused on this person that he has neglected other important aspects of his life.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the two people's deep connection and the idea that they are isolated from the rest of the world. Despite having "nothing to do" and "nothing to lose," they aren't bored or aimless because they have each other. The singer notes that he doesn't know why he can't keep his eyes off the other person. This suggests that he's completely entranced, and that being with this person is an immersive experience that takes over his entire being.
In the final verse, the singer seems to be in awe of this person. He can't quite put his finger on what it is about her that's so special, but he knows for sure that everything she does is beautiful and right. This underscores the depth of his connection to her and the idea that she's brought upon a transformation in his life.

For my innocent beautiful mom always....
For the only girl that ever truly loved me....
She was my only friend....
She was my muse....
She was my peace....
She was my happiness....
This is always been my favourite song....
One year ago she had her life stolen from her....
This song is for you old friend....
Until we meet again.....

[Verse 1]
What day is it? And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive
I can't keep up and I can't back down
I've been losing so much time
[Chorus]
Cause it's you and me and
All of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why,
I can't keep my eyes off of you
[Verse 2]
All of the things that I want to say
Just aren't coming out right
I'm tripping on words
You've got my head spinning
I don't know where to go from here
[Chorus]
Cause it's you and me and
All of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why,
I can't keep my eyes off of you
[Bridge]
There's something about you now
I can't quite figure out
Everything she does is beautiful
Everything she does is right
[Chorus]
Cause it's you and me and
All of the people with nothing to do
Nothing to lose
And it's you and me and all other people

I can't keep my eyes off of you
And me and all other people with nothing to do
Nothing to prove
And it's you and me and all other people
And I don't know why,
I can't keep my eyes off of you
