You & Me
Dan Shay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
At Myrtle Beach
Where it all began
It was 102 degrees
Nothin' to do
Man it was hot
So we jumped in
We were summertime sippin', sippin'
Sweet tea kissin' off of your lips
T-shirt drippin', drippin' wet
How could I forget?
Watchin' that blonde hair swing
To every song I'd sing
You were California beautiful
I was playin' everything but cool
I can still hear that sound
Of every wave crashin' down
Like the tears we cried
That day we had to leave
It was everything we wanted it to be
The summer of
19 you and me
We had our first dance in the sand
It was one hell of a souvenir
Tangled up, so in love
So, let's just stay right here
'Til the sun starts creepin', creepin' up
Right then I knew
Just what you were thinkin', thinkin' of
When I looked at you
Watchin' that blonde hair swing
To every song I'd sing
You were California beautiful
I was playin' everything but cool
I can still hear that sound
Of every wave crashin' down
Like the tears we cried
That day we had to leave
It was everything we wanted it to be
The summer of
19 you and me
You and me
Watchin' that blonde hair swing
To every song I'd sing
You were California beautiful
Beautiful, beautiful
Watchin' that blonde hair swing
To every song I'd sing
You were California beautiful
I was playin' everything but cool
I can still hear that sound
Of every wave crashin' down
Like the tears we cried
That day we had to leave
It was everything we wanted it to be
The summer of
19 you and me

If, 9 years later, this still sounds like something they’d release TODAY says something. And that something is:
Dan + Shay were WAY ahead of their time in terms of music production. Mixing, vocals, instrumentals, EVERYTHING. And what do you get when all of those components mesh together like peanut butter and jelly?
An absolutely amazing song.

This is my first time hearing or seeing Dan & Shay & I must say they are VERY good. My twin nieces, age 21, liked them so I decided to check them out. I have very broad tastes in music & definitely know talent. I feel certain that these two will go far with their collective talents. I know that I will certainly will be looking forward to more of their music.

I could listen to this song all day, it never gets tiring.

I love this song forever and always
@SunRayz3r
I’ve never been much of a country music fan, but this slaps! Super catchy, one of the few “country” artists I don’t dislike.
@Celestemusic5
Brings back so many summer memories from when I was a kid! Myrtle Beach was our summer vacation every year and I cried whenever we had to leave. I think a piece of my heart is still there! Love this song Dan + Shay!
