You & Me
Cranberries Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm not going out tonight 'cos I don't want to go
I am staying at home tonight 'cos I don't want to know
You revealed a world to me and I would never be
Dwelling in such happiness, your gift on purity

Eh-ee-oh, eh-ee-oh, eh-ee,oh, eh-ee-oh X 2

Aahh, you and me it will always be
You and me Forever be,
Eternally it will always be You and me

Taylor, Taylor, Taylor, Taylor

I don't pay attention to the ones who never cared
Find your onw direction 'cos there's sweetness in the air
You will be the world to me and I will always be
Dwelling in this happiness, your gift of purity

Eh-ee-oh, eh-ee-oh, eh-ee,oh, eh-ee-oh X 2

Aahh, you and me it will always be
You and me Forever be,
Eternally it Will always be
You and me

Always be You and me
Forever be, Eternally
It will always be You and me
Forever be, Eternally

Overall Meaning

In the first verse of Cranberries' "You & Me," the singer expresses her reluctance to go out and explore the world. She prefers to stay at home and avoid discovering anything new. The reason for her reluctance is not given in the lyrics.


The second half of the verse suggests that someone has shown her the beauty and purity of the world, and this has become a precious gift to her. This person's influence has made her content with her current state and has given her a sense of happiness that she fears she'll lose if she goes out into the world.


In the following verse, the singer asserts that she doesn't pay attention to those who never cared, showing that she is selective in choosing who she listens to when it comes to advice. She encourages people to find their own direction, implying that she's forged her own path in life with the help of the person who's given her a gift of purity. The last line of this verse reinforces the idea that this person's influence has given her the strength she needs to be happy in life.


The chorus ("you and me, it will always be") then comes in, and it underscores the bond she has with this person. She's grateful for what they've given her and knows that they will always be together, no matter what happens.


Overall, the song seems to be an ode to the power of human connection and how someone's influence can transform someone else's life for the better. It also highlights the importance of choosing one's own path and being true to oneself.
