Be With You
Sy & Unknown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cos I've opened mine
No I don't see forever
In our sights
I'll pretend to be blind
'Cos you seem like my type
But I can't get any closer
Or else I'd die
I break my rules, yeah, every time
I see your face
Looking right in front of me
But I can't be with you
You've been on my mind
You're all I want, yeah, deep inside
But what can I say
If you leave then fine by me
'Cos I can't be with
You are what I want
It's true but,
I can't be with you
What do I do
Everything just ends up
Reminding me of you
And the way you'd rather
move on
Before it all comes true
What do I do
Everything just tells me that
I can't be with you
And now I'm blue
Even though I knew
In the end it was never
Gonna be us two
Doing things together
Dreaming 'bout forever
Don't mind the way I think
It's just the way
I sink into the mess I make
It's self-inflicted everyday
Oh, I'll feel whatever
Think 'bout you whenever
My heart, it never
Stops before it
thinks and does all that it wants
I need to learn to leave and run
But you've been on my mind
I break my rules, yeah, every time
I see your face
Looking right in front of me
But I can't be with you
You've been on my mind
(You've been on my mind)
You're all I want, yeah, deep inside
But what can I say
(But what can I say)
If you leave then fine by me
(If you leave then fine by me)
'Cos I can't be with
('Cos I can't be with you)
You are what I want
It's true but,
I can't be with you
(I can't be with you)
What do I do
(What do I do)
Everything just ends up
Reminding me of you
(Reminding me of you)
And the way you'd rather
(The way you'd rather move)
move on
Before it all comes true
(Before it all comes true)
What do I do
(What do I do)
Everything just tells me that
I can't be with you
The lyrics of Sy & Unknown/Lou Lou's song Be With You evokes feelings of unrequited love and the pain of not being able to be with the person you desire. The first two lines of the song reveal that the singer has realized the truth, that they cannot be with their love interest forever. The line "I'll pretend to be blind, 'cos you seem like my type" shows that even though the singer knows it's impossible to be with this person, they can't help but be drawn to them.
The following lines "But you've been on my mind, I break my rules, yeah, every time" highlight how hard it is for the singer to resist their feelings for this person. The singer wants to be with the person, but they can't because they can't get any closer β it's almost like a physical barrier that prevents them from getting what they want.
Despite everything, the singer still can't help but think about this person all the time. They try to distract themselves from their thoughts but everything just ends up reminding them of that person. The final line, "Everything just tells me that I can't be with you" reinforces the fact that the singer has accepted the reality of the situation.
Overall, Be With You is a poignant song that speaks to those who are suffering from unrequited love. It highlights the difficulties of having strong feelings for someone but not being able to act on them.

Open your eyes
Pay attention and observe
'Cos I've opened mine
I have done my part and now it's your turn
No I don't see forever
I don't see an eternal future with you
In our sights
In our line of vision
I'll pretend to be blind
I'll ignore what I see for the sake of my attraction to you
'Cos you seem like my type
You fit the qualities I am attracted to
But I can't get any closer
I can't pursue a relationship with you
Or else I'd die
If I got closer, it would hurt me emotionally
But you've been on my mind
I can't stop thinking about you
I break my rules, yeah, every time
I am willing to break my own standards for you
I see your face
I can visually imagine you
Looking right in front of me
Directly in my field of view
But I can't be with you
I can't pursue a relationship with you
You're all I want, yeah, deep inside
You are my true desire
But what can I say
I am at a loss for words
If you leave then fine by me
I wouldn't be upset if you chose to not be in my life
You are what I want
I desire to be with you
It's true but,
I admit that I want to be with you
What do I do
I am unsure of how to proceed
Everything just ends up
All situations lead back to thoughts of you
Reminding me of you
Bringing thoughts of you back to my mind
And the way you'd rather
Your preference is to
move on
Leave the possibility of a relationship with me behind
Before it all comes true
Before the possibility of a relationship materializes
Everything just tells me that
All signs indicate that
I can't be with you
A relationship with you is not feasible for me
