Me and You
BOMB.91 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Quixote on a ten-speed, running the tracks of toy trains
When the money started pouring, couldn't tell who was feeding who a line
Yeah but Lana showed the good son what really makes the trains run on time
And how the North Shore winds did moan
O'er all the mattresses out on loan
Such an enterprising flair
A little trick they picked up somewhere
One night I tried to save her, cracking wise in some sophomore's yard
She said “I feel so damn rounded, but the boys like me to keep it nice and flat”
She made some sick wet sounds by the bushes and came limping back
And how the moon rose bloody in the sky
How her smile could not reach her eyes
Steady hand out for display
A little trick she picked up along the way
Invest in the surfaces
Learn to equivocate before you learn to kiss
What's upright gets upended
Time of your life, huh, kid
Things were different after that, I got some cliffs notes and a thrift store vest
Started rotating the father figures, kept the poetics close the the chest
I got some sodium and sugar to bury my synapses alive
Needed saving more than ever, but it'd be years before I'd even try
Cause the dream couldn't be the same
Glitter washed out in the rain
So I traded it away
A little trick I picked up
No the dream'll never be the same
Once it got so soiled and stained
How we give ourselves away
A little trick we pick up along the way
"Bomb.91's" song "Me and You" is a track that explores the complexities that come with being in a relationship. The repeated chorus of "And if you really love me won't you tell me" captures the essence of the song, as the singer feels unsure about their partner's affections.

The singer's partner sometimes acknowledges their love for them through sweet words, but at other times accuses them of being unfaithful. Frustrated, the singer is left to wonder whether their partner really loves them or not.
The line "be a fool who sits alone waiting for you" further emphasizes the singer's vulnerability to their partner's whims. However, the singer expresses a desire for clarity and urges their partner to tell them how they really feel, so they can stop playing around and commit to each other.
Overall, "Me and You" is an emotionally charged song that delves into the dynamics of relationships and the insecurities that can arise when there is a lack of communication and clarity.
Line by Line Meaning
And if you really love me won't you tell me
If you truly have love for me, please express it to me so I don't have to continue guessing
Then I won't have to be Playing around
If you let me know your true feelings, I won't have to constantly search for reassurance
You call my name Oooh so sweet To make your kiss incomplete
You use your endearment to reel me in and then withhold your affection, leaving me longing for more
When your mood is clear You quickly change your ways Then you say I'm untrue What am I supposed to do
Your unpredictable behavior makes it difficult for me to understand and comply with your desires, causing me to feel lost and uncertain
Be a fool who sits alone waiting for you
If I continue to hope for your love without any indication of reciprocation, I will be foolishly wasting my time and emotions
I see the light of your smile Calling me all the while You are saying baby It's time to go
You show me affection to lure me in, but only to push me away when you are done and ready to move on
First the feeling's alright Then it's gone from sight
At first everything seems okay and promising, but then your emotions and desire for me quickly disappear without explanation
So I'm taking out this time to say Oh if you really love me won't you tell me
I am using this moment to plead with you to be honest with me about your feelings, if there are any, instead of playing games with my heart
I won't have to be Playing around no Goofin' around no Oh baby Playing around no Let me know how you feel baby Hey oh baby Playing around no
If you express your love for me, I won't have to engage in meaningless flings and waste my time waiting for you. So, please let me know how you truly feel and stop playing games with my heart.
