Your Life and Mine
Just Surrender Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can see from across the room
There's a tear in his starry eye
I was leaving but I'm coming back
Since your heart should be with mine
That mark didn't do you right
When you left in your best friend's ride
With the face of angel, girl
You deserve to be treated more than right

Realized I was passing through
From the moment I saw you
I was hypnotized
Couldn't wait to get you alone
So I could walk with you
So I could talk with you, oh

Go ahead and call your friends
I'll do whatever it takes
So I can make you trust
This party's going south
Let me know what's going on with us

'Cause it's all right
There's nothing to stop us
If it feels right
Then everything's fine
For just one night
Then you go back to your life
And I'll go back to mine

Last night I saw a photograph
From the party where we chilled
(Party where we chilled)
It was showing the two of us
And the Colt 45 we killed
(Colt 45 we killed)
Here I'm just writing you a letter
From the distance past
Enclosed is a photograph
To remind you of the times we had

'Cause it's all right
There's nothing to stop us
If it feels right
Then everything's fine
For just one night
Baby, go back to your life
And I'll go back to mine

It's all right
(We can make it if we want to, baby)
It's all right
(I would love to show you the way)
For tonight
(And I'm not talking about forever)
I'm just talking tonight

I can see from across the room
There's a tear in his starry eye
I was leaving but I'm coming back
Since your heart should be with mine
That mark didn't do you right
When you left in your best friend's ride
With the face of angel, girl
You deserve to be treated more than right

'Cause it's all right
There's nothing to stop us
If it feels right
Then everything's fine
For just one night
Then you go back to your life
And I'll go back to mine

'Cause it's all right
There's nothing to stop us
If it feels right
Then everything's fine
For just one night
Then you go back to your life
And I'll go back to mine




(Don't you know, girl, that)
Then I'll go back to mine

Overall Meaning

The song "Your Life and Mine" by Just Surrender features lyrics that are centered around a romantic encounter between two people who meet at a party. The singer watches the woman from across the room and becomes infatuated with her. He talks about how he wants to get her alone so that they can talk and walk together. Despite the fact that he knows that their relationship will only last one night, he still wants to pursue her.

However, the singer sees something special in her and believes that she deserves to be treated better. The song ends with the singer reflecting on their encounter and sending a photograph to remind her of the time they had together, before they both must return to their separate lives.


Overall, the lyrics of "Your Life and Mine" describe a fleeting romance between two people who know that their relationship will not last beyond one night.

Line by Line Meaning

I can see from across the room
I noticed you from afar


There's a tear in his starry eye
You are sad about something


I was leaving but I'm coming back
I changed my mind and decided to stay


Since your heart should be with mine
We should be together


That mark didn't do you right
Someone hurt you


When you left in your best friend's ride
You left with someone else


With the face of angel, girl
You are beautiful


You deserve to be treated more than right
You should have someone who treats you perfectly


Realized I was passing through
I wasn't planning on staying


From the moment I saw you
But you caught my eye


I was hypnotized
I was captured by your beauty


Couldn't wait to get you alone
I wanted to spend time with you


So I could walk with you
So we could talk and get to know each other


So I could talk with you, oh
And share our thoughts and feelings


Go ahead and call your friends
Don't worry about what others think


I'll do whatever it takes
I'll make you trust me


So I can make you trust
I want you to trust me


This party's going south
The night is not going as planned


Let me know what's going on with us
We should be on the same page


'Cause it's all right
It's okay


There's nothing to stop us
We can do this


If it feels right
If it feels good


Then everything's fine
Then we'll be okay


For just one night
Just for tonight


Then you go back to your life
We'll go back to our normal lives


And I'll go back to mine
And we'll move on


Last night I saw a photograph
I found a picture


From the party where we chilled
From the party we were at


(Party where we chilled)
(Where we hung out)


It was showing the two of us
It was a picture of us together


And the Colt 45 we killed
With the gun we held


(Colt 45 we killed)
(The gun we shot)


Here I'm just writing you a letter
I'm sending you a message


From the distance past
From a long time ago


Enclosed is a photograph
I included a picture


To remind you of the times we had
To remember our memories


Then I'll go back to mine
And we'll go our separate ways


It's all right
It's okay


(We can make it if we want to, baby)
(We can make this work if we try)


(I would love to show you the way)
(I want to be with you)


For tonight
Just for this night


(And I'm not talking about forever)
(This is not a forever thing)


Baby, go back to your life
You should go back to your normal life


And I'll go back to mine
And I'll move on

I remember hearing this song back in my early 20’s while I was stationed in California. Met this amazing girl out there a couple weeks before I was getting out and moving back home to the east coast. We both knew that we were on borrowed time but we made the most of it.

It was short lived but magical; just like life.
I hope wherever she is these days, she’s happy and loved.

Damn how I remember this song. When I was like 19-20 I would play this song every weekend at every party/bar I was drinking at that weekend so much! Lol. This song takes me back to great times. I'm 33 now. Damn how I wish I could go back

"With a face of an angel girl, you deserve to be treated more than right." One of my all time favorite songs.

Felix Fox

Personally love this song. It's catchy, the actual chords are changing, not repetitive. I like the tone up and down. Short, simple and a good song. Just Surrender is actually a pretty good band.

John Hunter
