You and Me
Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wanna pack your bags, Something small
Take what you need and we disappear
Without a trace we'll be gone, gone
The moon and the stars can follow the car
And then when we get to the ocean
We gonna take a boat to the end of the world
All the way to the end of the world
Oh, and when the kids are old enough
We're gonna teach them to fly

You and me together, we could do anything, Baby
You and me together yes, yes (x2)

You and I, we're not tied to the ground
Not falling but rising like rolling around
Eyes closed above the rooftops
Eyes closed, we're gonna spin through the stars
Our arms wide as the sky
We gonna ride the blue all the way to the end of the world
To the end of the world

Oh, and when the kids are old enough
We're gonna teach them to fly

You and me together, we could do anything, Baby
You and me together yes, yes

We can always look back at what we did
All these memories of you and me baby
But right now it's you and me forever girl
And you know we could do better than anything that we did
You know that you and me, we could do anything

You and me together, we could do anything, Baby
You and me together yeah, yeah
Two of us together, we could do anything, baby
You and me together yeah, yeah
Two of us together yeah, yeah
Two of us together, we could do anything, baby





?? to reach the end of the world

Looping Artist, Just Dave

I just played this song live tonight at a private party I played for a wedding. I had to learn it for their wedding. It seemed very difficult at first to do because he doesn’t sing in syncopation with the chords he’s playing, the riffs. But now I absolutely love the song, and I killed it tonight. So this was very cool watching him do it with full band, Because I played it alone and used my looping pedal for percussion.

Dawn Morning

Great idea

I have been a fan since the beginning.  This is one of my favorite songs because of the simple and sweet lyrics.  I also love the guitar in this especially the chords at the end.
