You and Me
Ryan Star Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I find my way to your heart
Couldn't speak, I couldn't move
I find my way to your heart
Till it's you and me
I've seen your eyes before
And it's you and me
Keep your window opened up
I find my way to your heart
Don't have money, I don't have much but,
I find a way to your heart
Till it's you and me
I'll keep you safe and warm
And it's you and me
I don't want anything more
And I remember you
(And all the things that we have planned)
And I remember you
(And all the [?] that set us free)
I will come back for you
And me
I've seen your eyes before
And it's you and me
I don't want anything more
Till it's you and me
(I'll keep you safe and warm)
And it's you and me
(I don't want anything more)
The lyrics of Ryan Star's "You and Me" speak of a love story that goes beyond words and material possessions. It starts with the singer seeing his love interest from across the room and feeling an instant connection to her. The line "I couldn't speak, I couldn't move" demonstrates how overpowering his attraction is. Despite these initial hesitations, the singer knows he will make his way into her heart eventually.
The chorus emphasizes the bond between the two characters, "till it's you and me" meaning they share a deep connection. The singer has seen her eyes before, hinting at a sense of familiarity with her that he cannot explain. His love is pure and he does not desire anything further than just being with her. He will keep her safe and warm.
The bridge introduces a nostalgic element to the song. He remembers not only the girl but also the plans they made together. The phrase "all the [?]" suggests a past that was filled with adventure and freedom. Even though the singer may be away for a while, he will come back for her. The song concludes with the chorus repeating, emphasizing that they do not need anything more than just each other.
