Only Us
Laura Dreyfuss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't need you to search for the proof that I should
You don't have to convince me
You don't have to be scared you're not enough
'Cause what we've got going is good
I don't need more reminders of all that's been broken
I don't need you to fix what I'd rather forget
Try to quiet the noises in your head
We can't compete with all that
So what if it's us?
What if it's us
And only us
And what came before won't count anymore or matter?
Can we try that?
What if it's you
And what if it's me
And what if that's all that we need it to be
And the rest of the world falls away?
What do you say?
I never thought there'd be someone like you who would want me
Well
So I give you ten thousand reasons to not let me go
But if you really see me
If you like me for me and nothing else
Well, that's all that I've wanted for longer that you could possibly know
So it can be us
It can be us
And only us
And what came before won't count anymore or matter
We can try that
It's not so impossible
Nobody else but the two of us here
'Cause you're saying it's possible
We can just watch the whole world disappear
'Til you're the only one
I still know how to see
It's just you and me
It'll be us, It'll be us
And only us
And what came before won't count anymore
We can try that
You and me
That's all that we need it to be
And the rest of the world falls away
And the rest of the world falls away
The world falls away
The world falls away
And it's only us
The song "Only Us" by Laura Dreyfuss is about a pure and authentic love between two people who want to try and make their relationship work despite their past experiences. The two lovers don't need any reasons or validations to want each other, and they don't want to bring the baggage of past experiences into their present relationship. The lyrics reflect the desire to start afresh and build something new together, without the fear of failing based on their past.
The chorus of the song goes "What if it's us? And only us?" which shows that the couple is willing to take a chance on their relationship and just be with each other without comparing or competing with others in the world. They want their love to be the only thing that matters and to forget everything else that's happened in the past. They want to try and make it work, and the song reflects the hope that they have.
Overall, "Only Us" is a touching song that speaks to the heart of anyone who has ever been in love. It captures the essence of a true and pure love that is not based on the past or the future, but is singular and focused on the present.
