Between You & Me Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your house had a perfect view above the garden
I remember the kitchen tiles spaced black and white
Look up to see you smiling, you were happy then
(Promise I won't forget)
I hope it's peaceful where you lay
But trust me you'll still remain
I know we lost her, but trust me she'll be okay
She may be gone but her ghost remains
Just know we miss you and that we will meet again
In another life
And I hold my mother close watching her sister go
And the arms of an angel take her home
Your floral glass, I watch your casket depart this world
To let the heavens lift you up again
(Promise I won't forget)
I hope it's peaceful where you lay
But trust me you'll still remain
In the memories of you I chose to keep
I know we lost her, but trust me she'll be okay
She may be gone but her ghost remains
Just know we miss you and that we will meet again
In another life
I'll live each day like it's my last day
I'll savour it with every last breath
And fight my way through everything because
Eventually I'll be behind the glass
I pick my mum up off the floor
I told her things I've told before
That she cannot be hurt no more
She's safe behind those golden doors
I get that you still feel alone
Hey mum that's what I'm here for
You know I'll be here all along
We're family, we will be strong
I know we lost her, but trust me she'll be okay
She may be gone but her ghost remains
Just know we miss you and that we will meet again
In another life

I picture your old living room the last I saw you in
I remember the image of your old living room, the place where I last saw you
Your house had a perfect view above the garden
Your house had a beautiful view overlooking the garden

I recall the black and white kitchen tiles being neatly spaced
Look up to see you smiling, you were happy then
When I looked up, you were there, smiling and filled with joy

I promise that I will always remember
I hope it's peaceful where you lay
I hope that where you rest is a peaceful place

In another life
In a future existence
And I hold my mother close watching her sister go
I embrace my mother tightly as we witness her sister's departure
And the arms of an angel take her home
Her soul is carried away by the embrace of an angel
Your floral glass, I watch your casket depart this world
I observe as your decorated casket leaves this earthly realm
To let the heavens lift you up again
To allow the heavens to raise you once more
I hope it's peaceful where you lay
I hope that where you rest is a peaceful place
But trust me you'll still remain
But believe me, your presence will still be felt

I will live each day as if it might be my final day
I'll savour it with every last breath
I will cherish every moment with every breath I take
And fight my way through everything because
And I will overcome any challenges that come my way because
Eventually I'll be behind the glass
Eventually, I will be the one who is remembered and observed
I pick my mum up off the floor
I help my mother get up from the ground
I told her things I've told before
I reassured her with words I have spoken before
That she cannot be hurt no more
That she will no longer be harmed
She's safe behind those golden doors
She is protected within the sanctuary of those golden gates
I get that you still feel alone
I understand that you still experience loneliness
Hey mum that's what I'm here for
Hey mum, I'm here to support you
You know I'll be here all along
You know I will always be by your side
We're family, we will be strong
We are family, and together we will remain resilient
I know we lost her, but trust me she'll be okay
I know we lost her, but I believe she will find peace
She may be gone but her ghost remains
Though she may no longer be with us, her spirit lives on
Just know we miss you and that we will meet again
Please know that we miss you and have faith in our reunion
In another life
In a future existence
