You & Me
Joseph Birdsong Lyrics

You & me
The focus of the song is the relationship between the singer and the person they are singing to.

I see you there across the room
The singer notices the other person in the same space and acknowledges their presence.

Our eyes they meet
The two of them make eye contact, creating a moment of connection.

Maybe it is still too soon
The singer is uncertain whether to pursue a relationship with this person and is questioning whether the timing is right.

It's been awhile
The singer hasn't been in contact with the other person for a while, possibly indicating a past relationship.

I can't get you off my mind
The singer is preoccupied with thoughts of the other person and cannot stop thinking about them.

So stop and smile
The singer wants the other person to acknowledge them and smile back, as a sign of interest.

It's gonna be a long night
The singer expects the night to be emotionally challenging with feelings of uncertainty and longing.

And in the darkness i can feel you watching me
The singer senses the other person is paying attention to them even when they cannot see each other.

And in the darkness i can feel your breath
The singer is highly attuned to the other person's physical presence and can sense them nearby.

I wanna hold, wanna hold your hand again
The singer desires to have a physical connection with the other person and longs to be close again.

And tell you baby it was never supposed to end
The singer wants to express regret over how their previous relationship ended and hopes to reconcile.

If i only had this chance with you tonight
The singer realizes this is a rare opportunity to make a move with the other person and hopes to seize the moment.

You could make it alright
The singer believes that being with the other person would make everything feel better and more complete.

Remember how it used to be
The singer is nostalgic and longs to revisit a former time when things were good between them.

So bright as day
The singer remembers how happy they were and how everything felt clear and certain at the time.

Now the colors fade to grey
The singer feels that their life has lost its vibrancy and that their world has become one of monotony and sadness without the other person.

What when wrong
The singer is reflecting on what went wrong in their past relationship and is trying to figure out how to make it right.

I see that you are not alone
The singer observes that the other person is surrounded by friends or others and may be hesitant to give them a chance again.

But we belong
The singer believes that they are meant to be together and that they will find a way to make it work despite any obstacles.

You brush my knee
The singer notices a moment of physical contact from the other person, hinting at a possible future romantic connection.

I feel the wave wash over me
The singer is overwhelmed with emotion by this small physical gesture and feels that any doubts they had are now resolved.
