U And Us
Alex M.O.R.P.H. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I really wish you would have waited for me
Before deciding to escape my carefully crafted story
I'm edging closer to where I shouldn't be
But if I'm gonna lose the game I might as well be happy
I almost quit the game
Cause I was too afraid
Of facing my own rage
But every day just feels the same
No matter how I change
So I don't want to stay
We really wish you would have waited for me
And yet you ran away to live somewhere outside of our reach
I keep forgetting that "I" am just one "me"
I was losing at this game the moment I started playing
Don't you wish you were just a bit more like me?
Don't you wish that you had something they'd believe?
Don't you wish that you could eat all of your grief?
Maybe if, and only if, you try to leave
I really wish you would have waited for me
I really wish you would have waited for me




I really wish you would have waited for me
And since we're losing, might as well be happy

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Alex M.O.R.P.H.'s song "U And Us" can be interpreted as a reflection on a lost love and the pain of wishing the other person would have waited before leaving. The persona speaks of his/her own fear of facing their emotions, almost quitting the game, and settling for a life that is essentially the same every day. There is a sense of resignation and acceptance of losing, as long as there is some happiness to be found.


The song also touches on the idea of identity and the pressure to conform to societal norms. The persona questions if the other person wishes they were "just a bit more like me" and if they had something that others would believe. However, the final line "And since we're losing, might as well be happy" could be interpreted as a resolve to find joy in the face of adversity and the freedom to be oneself even when it goes against the norm.


Overall, "U And Us" is a contemplative and melancholic song that speaks of love, loss, and the struggle to find meaning and happiness in life.


Line by Line Meaning

I really wish you would have waited for me
We would have preferred if you didn't rush to leave without us


Before deciding to escape my carefully crafted story
Instead of abandoning our journey and story so abruptly


I'm edging closer to where I shouldn't be
I'm moving towards uncertain territories


But if I'm gonna lose the game I might as well be happy
If I'm going to fail, I might as well enjoy the process


I almost quit the game
I almost gave up on everything


Cause I was too afraid
Fear held me back from taking risks and pursuing my goals


Of facing my own rage
I was avoiding addressing and controlling my anger


But every day just feels the same
Despite my efforts to change my direction, every day seems repetitive and boring


No matter how I change
Even if I attempt to change my mindset, perspective, or lifestyle


So I don't want to stay
I feel like I need to leave this situation or environment


We really wish you would have waited for me
We really hoped you could have postponed your departure


And yet you ran away to live somewhere outside of our reach
And you left without leaving any contact or traceable address


I keep forgetting that "I" am just one "me"
I forget that I can only do so much alone


I was losing at this game the moment I started playing
I was destined to fail even before starting


Don't you wish you were just a bit more like me?
Don't you sometimes wish you were more carefree like me?


Don't you wish that you had something they'd believe?
Don't you wish to have a sense of direction and authenticity that is admirable?


Don't you wish that you could eat all of your grief?
Don't you wish you could relieve your sadness with a physical action?


Maybe if, and only if, you try to leave
If you attempt to quit this race


I really wish you would have waited for me
We hoped you wouldn't leave us behind


And since we're losing, might as well be happy
If we're going to fail anyway, we might as well make the most of the journey
