You And Me
Parov Stelar Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wake up in the bad
with confusions in my head
I dont trust to what I feel
I dont think we had a deal
You took my kiss without knowing my name
Step into my world without a shame
You walked out the door without telling a word
Left me lying there feeling like a little bird

How weird is this
How weird is that

But in my mind I do regret
I didn't didn't hold you back

What life would this be
If there is you and me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "You and Me" by Parov Stelar describe a sense of confusion and disorientation that the singer is experiencing after a romantic encounter with someone. They wake up feeling unsure of what they are feeling, or whether the other person reciprocated their attraction. Despite this, the singer seems to be caught up in the moment, as they describe the other person taking their kiss "without knowing my name," and subsequently stepping into their world without shame.

However, it appears that the other person might not have felt the same way, as they left without a word, leaving the singer feeling vulnerable and exposed ("feeling like a little bird"). The singer expresses regret that they did not prevent this person from leaving, and ultimately expresses a desire for a life that includes both them and the other person.

Overall, the lyrics of "You and Me" convey a sense of longing and uncertainty, as the singer grapples with their own feelings and the unknown intentions of the other person.
