That's Us / Wild Combination
Arthur Russell Lyrics

That's us, before we got there
This represents the sense of anticipation and excitement before a new experience or journey.

That's morning time, before we got there
Referring to the beginning of a new day, symbolizing the fresh start and endless possibilities.

I just want to be, wherever you are
Expressing the deep desire to be with a loved one, regardless of location or circumstances.

Hard as I can be, it's never too hard
Despite facing challenges and obstacles, the commitment to the relationship remains unwavering and strong.

With this our love to see, by its own light
The love shared between the individuals is self-sustaining and shines brightly on its own.

Love inside of me, it's working at night
The power of love is constantly active and alive within, even during the darkest times.

Seconds before I see in the dark
Moments before gaining clarity and understanding in challenging situations or during periods of uncertainty.

Seconds turn, this time that, it's so
The passage of time shapes and influences the present moment, making it incredibly valuable.

Coming to, seconds turn, this time that I
Arriving at a realization that moments and opportunities are fleeting, urging one to fully embrace the present.

Such fun to be with
The joy and delight experienced in the presence of the other person.

It's a big old world
Recognizing the vastness and complexity of the world.

With nothing in it
Despite the vastness, the world only holds true meaning and significance when shared with loved ones.

I can't wait to see you
Expressing eager anticipation for the next meeting or reunion with the person.

Another minute
Implying that even the shortest duration of time apart feels like an eternity.

It's a wild combination, it's a wild combination
Referring to the unpredictability and uniqueness of their love, which is an extraordinary blend of different elements.

It's a wild, it's a loving you baby
Describing the intensity and passionate nature of the love felt towards the other person.

It's a talk in the dark, it's a walk in the morning (x2)
Symbolizing the deep conversations and intimate moments shared during both the darkness and the dawn of their relationship.

For a price, push up and be part of it all
Highlighting the acceptance that in order to fully immerse oneself in life's experiences, sacrifices and efforts may be required.

Surfing, swimming
Metaphorical activities that represent the adventurous and active nature of their journey together.

That's you, me, on self-timer
Capturing the essence of their relationship through self-representation or self-photography.

We're leaving at five in the morning
Embarking on a journey or starting a new phase of their lives together early in the day, symbolizing hope and excitement.

We could get better mileage
Suggesting that by being together, they can achieve more and make the most out of their shared experiences.

That's you, in the pool, you're a swimmer
Depicting the partner's confident and skillful nature, using swimming as a metaphor for their ability to navigate challenges.

What a winner, you peek out
Expressing admiration and awe for the partner's strengths and their ability to triumph in various aspects of life.
