With you

With you
With you
With you
Like a seesaw up and down
On a seesaw up and down
Up and down with you
Like a seesaw up and down
On a seesaw up and down
Up and down with you
I see pictures in my mind
I see fingers up your spine
I saw my heart break in two
I saw her again with you
A seesaw up and down
On a seesaw up and down
Up and down with you
With you
With you
With you
With you
With you

With you
With you
I can see it your eyes
I see through your thin despise
She was always my best friend
I saw you with her again
I see pictures in my mind
I see fingers up my spine
I saw my heart break in two
I saw her again with you
With you
With you
With you
With you
Just stuff

The lyrics to Romy's song SeeSaw are a repetition of the phrase "With you" followed by the imagery of a seesaw going up and down, symbolizing the push and pull of a relationship. The singer is describing the tumultuous nature of their connection with their partner. The verse "I see pictures in my mind, I see fingers up your spine" suggests the singer is familiar with their partner's body but also hints at their insecurity, envisioning past encounters with others. The lyrics "I saw my heart break in two, I saw her again with you" imply betrayal and heartbreak.
The second verse shows the singer's jealousy of their partner's relationship with their best friend. The lyrics "I can see it in your eyes, I see through your thin despise" suggests that their partner is not only cheating on them but also not hiding their disdain for the singer. The chorus "With you" is juxtaposed with the singer's loneliness and isolation, emphasizing their codependent tendencies.
Overall, the song is about the fragility of relationships and the emotional turmoil that comes with it. The seesaw metaphor is a poignant way of describing the push and pull of a relationship and the constant change in dynamics.

This tune was the perfect soundtrack to an unforgettable moment - I was traveling solo on my first trip through Europe. I'd had some incredible adventures in Bulgaria and Budapest and was off to Prague - it was an evening flight and the sky was like nothing I'd ever seen before. I was awestruck at the clouds and how beautiful everything looked. Felt immensely grateful and cried by the window seat. Summer 2018 was one for the books and this tune will stick with me for the rest of my life.
