Between You and Me
Lemon Demon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Almost every day, I am swept away
From the dull, void and null, by the things you say.
Wouldn't it be great, living in one state?
State of mind, intertwined, that you help create.

When we're on the phone, I am no longer alone.
It's a start, but my heart is still in another time zone.
You're the greatest thing random fate couldn't bring.
Still, I smile. Maybe I'll meet you in the spring.

What if I don't? God I hope I do.
Wishes come true.

Waiting for everything to fall into place.
So far a distance just to see face to face.
Between you and me, I think rules don't apply.
Between you and me is a space we can walk if we try.

You are, indubitably,
The loveliest possible person for me.
Why weren't we thrown together,
Somewhere nice with perfect weather?

Where cosmic placement failed,
Where Serendipity dragged her tail
Is where we are right now.
We must escape, but we don't know how.

You know what would be rad?
If I were rich, and if I had
An aeroplane with giant wings,
And funky old propeller things.

I would fly right by your place
And pick you up with gentle grace,
And fly straight into outer space,
Just to see you face to face.

And when we come back, we'll be fast asleep,
Counting camels instead of sheep.

Waiting for everything to fall into place.
So far a distance just to see face to face.
Between you and me, I think rules don't apply.
Between you and me is a space we can walk if we try.

Wonder if I'll ever be with you?




Do wishes come true?
God I hope they do.

Overall Meaning

The song "Between You and Me" by Lemon Demon explores the idea of distance, both physical and emotional, and the desire to bridge that gap. The singer is swept away from their dull life by the things the other person says, wishing they could live in the same state, both physically and mentally. They are no longer alone when talking on the phone with the other person but are still limited by being in different time zones.


The singer sees the other person as the loveliest possible person for them but wonder why they weren't thrown together in a more perfect place. They feel that cosmic placement has failed and serendipity has dragged her tail, leaving them in their current state of physical and emotional distance. Despite this, they still hope for the possibility of one day being with the other person, even if it means flying into outer space to see them face to face.


Overall, the song captures the longing to be with someone who is physically distant but emotionally close, while also acknowledging the challenges and uncertainty that come with that desire.
