And it's true
Max Stalling Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Studying the passing signs and looking for some proof
And somewhere by a fireside there's a girl who's looking too
And outside on the highway she hears passing trucks roll through
Blowing down a street someplace there's a page torn from a book
The last lines of a mystery if anyone would look
And lying in pawnshop there's a novel with no end
Well, it's me and it's you and it's true
It's me and it's you and it's true
Way out in a desert plods a traveler all alone
Through driving winds and biting sand keeps pushing on and on
Far off in the distance lies an oasis lush and green
Though it cannot be seen yet the traveler believes
It's me and it's you and it's true
It's me and it's you and it's true
Breezes blow some things away and some roads are too long
But sometimes winds of fate put things right where they belong
Someday on a wall somewhere hangs a portrait done in gray
Two people holding hands and smiling back on twists of fate
It's me and it's you and it's true
It's me and it's you and it's true
Somewhere on a road tonight there's a boy without a clue
And outside on the highway she hears passing trucks roll through.
The lyrics to Max Stalling's "And it's true" are about two people who are searching for something in their lives. The song describes a boy and a girl, both on separate journeys, but with similar goals. The boy is lost and looking for direction while studying the passing signs along the road. The girl, on the other hand, is looking for something in her life as well, but she's doing so from the comfort of a fireside. As they go through their individual journeys, they are connected by the fact that they are both searching for something.
The song continues by describing the vastness of the desert and the perseverance of a lone traveler pushing through tough terrain. The traveler is searching for something too – an oasis in the distance. The imagery used in this song highlights the vastness of the world and how there can be so many people with different goals, all searching for something to fill the void.
As the song progresses, it reveals that sometimes, fate brings people together in unexpected ways. The two people searching in the beginning of the song may eventually find each other, and the twists and turns of their respective journeys will bring them together in a beautiful way. The song ultimately ends by emphasizing that although everyone's journey is different, we are all connected through the simple fact that we are all searching for something.

Blowing down a street someplace there's a page torn from a book
Somewhere, a page from a book is blowing down the empty street
The last lines of a mystery if anyone would look
It's the final page of a mystery book, but no one is there to read it
And lying in pawnshop there's a novel with no end
In a pawnshop, there's a book that's been abandoned with an unfinished story
Picked up and put right back down time and time again
People keep picking it up, but they never finish reading it
Way out in a desert plods a traveler all alone
In the middle of nowhere, a lone traveler is slowly making their way through the desert
Through driving winds and biting sand keeps pushing on and on
Despite the harsh conditions, the traveler continues to forge ahead
Far off in the distance lies an oasis lush and green
There's an oasis in the distance, and the traveler knows it's there even if they can't see it yet

It's me and it's you and it's true
No matter where we are or what we're going through, we're connected by the universal experience of life
It's me and it's you and it's true
This truth applies to everyone, not just the people mentioned in the song
Somewhere on a road tonight there's a boy without a clue
The song ends the same way it began, reminding us that there will always be people struggling to find their way
