When It Comes To Us
Frances Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I turn tables and speak too softly
I don't make much sense, I don't make much sense
You aren't able to come down lightly
You're so intense, yeah you're so intense

So, you just let me know what you're missing
Come take the pedestal
You'd be the reason why I keep slipping
But come home

You and I, we're one too many worlds apart
It really shouldn't work but it does
It really shouldn't work but it does
And side by side, we're different but somehow the same
It really shouldn't work but it does
It really shouldn't work but it does
When it comes to us

Ooh ooh ooh oh oh oh
When it comes
Ooh ooh ooh oh oh oh
When it comes to us
Ooh ooh ooh oh oh oh
When it comes
Ooh ooh ooh oh oh oh

You're too playful and never serious
But I love you that way, yeah I love you that way
I'm too careful and always in a rush
But it's all okay, yeah it's always okay

So, you just let me know what you're missing
Come take the pedestal
You'd be the reason why I keep slipping
But come home

You and I, we're one too many worlds apart
It really shouldn't work but it does
It really shouldn't work but it does
And side by side, we're different but somehow the same
It really shouldn't work but it does
It really shouldn't work but it does
When it comes to us

Ooh ooh ooh oh oh oh
When it comes to us
Ooh ooh ooh oh oh oh
When it comes to us
Ooh ooh ooh oh oh oh
Ooh ooh ooh oh oh oh
Ooh ooh ooh oh oh oh

You and I, we're one too many worlds apart
It really shouldn't work but it does
It really shouldn't work but it does
And side by side, we're different but somehow the same
It really shouldn't work but it does
It really shouldn't work but it does
When it comes to us

Ooh ooh ooh oh oh oh
When it comes to us
Ooh ooh ooh oh oh oh
When it comes to us
Ooh ooh ooh oh oh oh




When it comes to us
Ooh ooh ooh oh oh oh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Frances's song "When It Comes To Us" depict two individuals who are seemingly incompatible, yet they share an undeniable bond. The song's opening lines, "I turn tables and speak too softly, I don't make much sense," show how the singer is not the most assertive or outgoing person. Meanwhile, the other person in the song is described as being intense, making it difficult for the two to communicate effectively. However, despite their differences, there is a sense of longing in the chorus when the singer says, "You and I, we're one too many worlds apart. It really shouldn't work, but it does. And side by side, we're different but somehow the same. It really shouldn't work, but it does. When it comes to us."


Throughout the song, there is a subtle theme of balance and complimentary nature that is juxtaposed against contrasting personalities. For instance, the singer notes that their partner is too playful and never serious while they are too careful and always in a rush. Despite these fundamental differences, the two can still find harmony, and this is perhaps what makes their relationship special. The song's ending suggests that despite the challenges they face, these two individuals share a unique bond that transcends their differences.


Line by Line Meaning

I turn tables and speak too softly
I try to change the situation but I'm not assertive enough


I don't make much sense, I don't make much sense
I'm not always logical, I struggle to articulate my thoughts


You aren't able to come down lightly
You take things very seriously and it's difficult for you to relax


You're so intense, yeah you're so intense
You have a lot of passion and energy, which can be overwhelming


So, you just let me know what you're missing
Tell me what you need or what you're lacking


Come take the pedestal
Be in charge, take control


You'd be the reason why I keep slipping
Your influence is causing me to make mistakes


But come home
Despite everything, I want you to come back to me


You're too playful and never serious
You're always joking around and not taking things seriously


But I love you that way, yeah I love you that way
I accept you for who you are, even though we're different

I'm overly cautious and often anxious


But it's all okay, yeah it's always okay
Despite my faults, we still make it work


You and I, we're one too many worlds apart

And side by side, we're different but somehow the same
Even though we're unique, we have similarities that bring us together


When it comes to us
In our relationship, things work out even when they shouldn't
