You And Me
Lee Mead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive.
I can't keep up,
And I can't back down.
I've been losing so much time.
And all other people,
With nothing to do,
And nothing to lose.
And it's you, and me,
And all other people.
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you...
All of the things
That I want to say
Just aren't coming out right.
I'm tripping on words.
You get my head spinning,
And I don't know where to go from here.
Cuz it's you, and me,
And all other people,
With nothing to do,
And nothing to prove.
And it's you, and me,
And all other people.
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you...
There's something about you now
That I can't quite figure out.
Everything she does is beautiful.
Everything she does is right.
Cuz it's you, and me,
And all other people,
With nothing to do,
And nothing to lose.
And it's you, and me,
And all other people.
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of
You, and me,
And all other people,
With nothing to do,
And nothing to prove.
And it's you, and me,
And all other people.
And I don't know why
I can't keep my eyes off of you...
What day is it,
And in what month?
This clock never seemed so alive...
In Lee Mead's song You and Me, the singer is talking about how he is lost in time, unable to keep track of what day it is or what month it is. He feels alive and connected with everything around him as the clock ticks by. However, he is unable to keep up or back down, which deep down reflects the confusion and chaos that he is experiencing in his life.
The singer further confesses that he feels an incessant urge to be around someone, and this someone can be none other than the person he is singing his song to. He is attached to the person, and the two of them share an indescribable connection that seems to be unaffected by space and time. They are surrounded by other people who may have nothing to do or nothing to prove, but it doesn't matter as it's just the two of them that he cares about. The singer realizes he can't keep his eyes off of the person he is singing about and cannot articulate his feelings as he struggles to speak. Despite this, he finds the person's every move beautiful and captivating.
The song’s meaning is ambiguous and has been open to interpretation, but it is often believed to be a love song about two people who have a special bond, while the world continues spinning around them. It is a romantic song emphasizing the importance of being connected to someone and feeling lost in each other's company.
