You and I
Mayday Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The winter is frozen
The fire is cozy
And keeping us warm
'Tis the season
For giving us a reason
To finally come together
All at once
But some have gone to heaven
We'll never forget 'em
They line the walls and stay perfectly framed
For as long as I remember
We'll gather 'round together
Filling our hearts all the same
And we all find love
Where it all began
And to be there soon
Means that I'm with you
On Christmas
Well, this winter
Has come without glitter
No mistletoe hanging
Or reason to cheer
'Cause I miss you
And so does this room
There's no light and no warmth
Without you here
But some have gone to heaven
We'll never forget 'em
They line the walls and stay perfectly framed
For as long as I remember
We'll gather 'round together
Filling our hearts all the same
Filling our hearts all the same
And we all find love
Where it all began
And to be there soon
Means that I'm with you
Yeah, we all find love
Where it all began
And to be there soon
Means that I'm with you
On Christmas
I miss everything
I miss everything
Everything that you gave to me
Care for and cherish (I miss everything)
Each moment is precious (I miss everything)
Don't ever let us soon forget (everything that you gave to me)
And we all find love
Where it all began
And to be there soon
Means that I'm with you
Yeah, we all find love
Where it all began
And to be there soon
Means that I'm with you
Yeah, we all find love (I miss everything)
Where it all began (I miss everything)
And to be there soon
Means that I'm with you
On Christmas
On Christmas
And to be there soon
Means that I'm with you
On Christmas
The song "You and I" by Mayday is a heartwarming ode to the holiday season and the bond between loved ones. The opening lines paint a cozy picture of a winter night, where the warmth of the fire contrasts with the coldness outside. The season is seen as a time for bringing people together, overcoming differences and finding common ground. The lyrics then take a poignant turn, as the singer acknowledges the absence of a loved one who has passed away, but who is still present in their cherished memories. The line, "They line the walls and stay perfectly framed" is a touching image that speaks to the power of memory and the importance of keeping loved ones close, even after they are gone. The chorus serves as a reminder that the holiday season is about sharing love with one another, no matter where we find ourselves.
The second verse of the song is more melancholic, as the singer laments the absence of their loved one from the festivities, especially since there is no glittering or mistletoe to distract from the feeling of loss. Despite this, the memories of the loved one still provide a source of comfort and warmth, even in their absence. The chorus is repeated, reinforcing the theme of finding love where it all began, and the desire to be reunited soon.
Overall, "You and I" is a poignant and emotionally resonant song that speaks to the power of memory and the importance of finding comfort in the bonds we share with loved ones, even when they are gone. Its simple yet heartfelt lyrics capture the essence of the holiday season, reminding us that it is a time for coming together and celebrating the love that unites us.

Well, this winter
The current winter season
Has come without glitter
The winter holidays are not as festive or exciting as they used to be
No mistletoe hanging
There is no romantic love or joy this holiday season
Or reason to cheer
There is not much to be excited or happy about
'Cause I miss you
The absence of a loved one is felt and makes the holiday season difficult
And so does this room
The atmosphere is lacking warmth and love without the presence of loved ones
There's no light and no warmth
The absence of loved ones makes the atmosphere feel bleak and cold
Without you here
The importance of the presence of loved ones during the holiday season
I miss everything
The absence of loved ones makes everything feel empty and unfulfilling
Each moment is precious
Cherishing every moment with loved ones as they are finite
Don't ever let us soon forget
Remembering and valuing the memories and impact of loved ones forever
And to be there soon
Hoping to reunite with loved ones soon
Means that I'm with you
Being with loved ones brings happiness and comfort

Oh dear, Suddenly I remember that moment when you and I were at the train station. It was summer. The sky was dark but shining like a diamond, you hold me tight. And you said: " I will see you in a wedding dress" 😂❤️💙💚🌟🌙
