You & Me
Andy B. Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You said you would always stay
It wasn't me who changed but you and now you've gone away
Don't you see that now you've gone
And I'm left here on my own
That I have to follow you and beg you to come home
You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
Believe me, believe me I can't help but love you
But believe me I'll never tie you down
Left alone with just a memory
Life seems dead and quite unreal
All that's left is loneliness there's nothing left to feel
You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand believe me, believe me
You don't have to say you love me just be close at hand
You don't have to stay forever
I will understand, believe me, believe me
The lyrics of "You & Me" by Andy B. Jones describe the aftermath of a failed relationship. The singer is speaking to a former lover who has left, emphasizing the fact that they were the one who changed, not the singer. Although they are left alone, they still hold a deep love for their former partner and are willing to follow and beg for them to come back. The song emphasizes the idea that love doesn't always have to be expressed verbally - that just being close to someone can be enough.
The chorus repeats the idea that the singer doesn't need words of love from their former partner, only their presence. The repetition of "believe me" implies the singer's struggle to make their former partner understand their feelings without coming across as possessive or demanding. The third verse emphasizes the loneliness and lack of feeling that follows a failed relationship, but the chorus reminds the former partner that they don't have to make any grand declarations of love, just be there for the singer.
