You & Me
Lifehouse (OST The Notebook) Lyrics

What day is it
The singer is unsure of the current date.

And in what month
The singer is also unsure of the current month.

This clock never seemed so alive
The passage of time is noticeable and overwhelming to the singer.

I can't keep up and I can't back down
The singer is feeling overwhelmed and stuck, unable to move forward or retreat.

I've been losing so much time
The singer feels like they've wasted a lot of time.

Cause there's you and me
The singer is focusing on the other person in their life.

And of all people with nothing to do
The singer and the other person have nothing to do or no busy agenda.

Nothing to lose
They are not concerned about taking risks, since they have nothing to lose.

And there's you and me
The singer reiterates the importance of this other person in their life.

And of all other people
The singer feels that this person is unique and stands out from everyone else.

And I don't know why
The singer is unsure why they are so drawn to this person.

I can't keep my eyes off of you
The singer is obsessively attracted to this other person.

What are the things That I want to say
The singer has something they want to communicate but is struggling with the right wording.

Just aren't coming out right
The singer is having trouble communicating effectively.

I'm tripping on words
The singer is struggling even more to express themselves properly.

You got my head spinning
The other person has the ability to make the singer feel dizzy or disoriented.

I don't know where to go from here
The singer is unsure how to proceed in this situation.

Something about you now
The singer is describing their feelings toward the other person currently.

That I can't quite figure out
The singer is having trouble comprehending their own feelings toward the other person.

Everything she does is beautiful
The singer sees beauty in everything that the other person does.

Everything she does is right
The singer perceives the other person to do everything perfectly.

And I don't know why
The singer is still unable to understand their strong attraction to the other person.

I can't keep my eyes off of you and me
The singer is exclusively focusing on the other person in this interaction.

And all other people with nothing to do
Again, reiterating that there is no competition or other concerns for attention.

Nothing to prove
Neither the singer nor the other person feel the need to prove themselves to anyone else.

And there's you and me and all other people
The singer is reminding their audience that this person is still present in their life along with everyone else.

And I don't know why
The singer remains puzzled by their attachment to this other person.

I can't keep my eyes off of you
The singer is still strongly drawn to the other person and cannot focus on anything else.
