You & Me
Aron Wright Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the roads are filling up
Everybody′s going somewhere
But baby I know
I was standing on the ceiling
Saw a plane crash on the news
They say the chances of that happening
What I need
What I need
What I need
Is you... and me
There are fires on the hillside
Swallowing up all the land
They say it was started by these
Two young kids who were messing around
With something they couldn't understand
What I need
What I need
What I need
Is you... and me
I′m paralyzed like there's half of me that's missing
What I need
What I need
What I need
Is you... and me
Is you... and me
Is you... and me
The song "You & Me" by Aron Wright speaks of a deep longing for the love of a person amidst the chaos and uncertainties of life. The opening lines paint a picture of a busy city, with people going about their business while the street lights begin to fade away, implying that there is a lapse in time. However, amidst all this hustle and bustle, the singer knows what he needs, and that is to be with his lover.
The singer then reminisces about a plane crash that he saw on the news while he was standing on the ceiling. This could possibly mean that he was daydreaming or imagining something while lying down. The lyrics convey that the singer knows that the odds of finding his lover are as slim as a plane crash happening, but he still hopes to find them. The song then transitions to talk about a wildfire that has taken over the hillside, which was caused by two young teens who played with something they didn't understand. Through these situations, the singer seems to imply that life can be unpredictable and chaotic, but having his lover by his side would make everything bearable.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's need to be with his lover, and he feels incomplete without them, as he feels "paralyzed like there's half of me that's missing." Overall, the song conveys the message that amidst life's struggles and uncertainties, having someone to love and rely on makes everything meaningful.

Street lights are cutting off now
It's night time and the street lights are turning off
