Only Us
Kygo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stolen tears in the fastback
Telling lies 'til the lungs black
Silhouette, will you ride out
With me?
With me

And we're so close
Come so far
Two strangers in the dark

I want you to know
Want you to say
It's only us, only us
I want you to know
Don't be afraid
It's only us, only us

I want you to know
Want you to say
It's only us, only us
I want you to know
Want you to say
It's only us, only us

Steady eyes on the way back
Heavy hearts when they fade black
Silhouette with the cold sweat
Stay up with me
With me

And we're so close
Come so far
We're falling in the dark

I want you to know
Want you to say
It's only us, only us
I want you to know
Don't be afraid
It's only us, only us

I want you to know
Want you to say
It's only us, only us
I want you to know
Want you to say
It's only us, only us

It's only us
(Only us)
It's only us
(Only us)
It's only us
(Only us)
It's only us
It's only us (only us)
Only us

Won't let you let me go
Won't let you let me go
Won't let you let me go
Won't let you let me go
Won't let you let me go
Won't let you let me go





(Only us)
Won't let you let me go (only us)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kygo Haux's song "Only Us" paint a picture of two people who have gotten lost in a moment together. They've been through some trying times, symbolized by the "stolen tears in the fastback" and the "telling lies 'til the lungs black," but despite this, they're still holding on. The two are so close and have come so far, but find themselves as strangers in the dark. The singer pleads with the other person to acknowledge their connection, telling them "I want you to know, want you to say, it's only us, only us." They're trying to break through the barriers that exist between them and unite as one. There are heavy hearts and a cold sweat present, but they're still holding steady and trying to make it work. They will not let each other go.


The song's evocative lyrics encapsulate the intimacy that can be shared between two people who are struggling to connect. Whether in a romantic partnership or a close friendship, the lyrics can be interpreted in various ways, and the listener is free to extract their meaning from the central message. Ultimately, the song is an ode to the fact that two people can get lost in a moment and share a connection that transcends any other.
