You And Me
The Verve Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Someday I'll die for you
Baby I'd die for you
I know I seem discovered
But I'm buried deep inside
There's a hole so wide
You can see through it day or night
Come on and let me try
It's you and me against the world
But the world is learning
So knock on my door
And let my world start turning
And I was feeling low
You show me where this boy should go
Meet me at the end of the road
I need someone to hold
Yeah I need someone to hold
It's you and me against the world
But the world is learning
So knock on my door
And let my world start turning
I see it's up to me
And now we'll watch me suffer
Oh I see it's up to me
And now we'll watch me suffer
And no wonder
It's you and me against the world
But the world is learning
Don't you knock on my door
And let this world start turning
Start turning
Turning
I hope you are learning




I hope you are learning
Babe, I hope you are learning yeah

One of the best bands England's produced yet...I can't quit listening to these gentlemen. Lyrics and the music gets me. I won't listen to anything else...Every one of their albums is Class. Ashcroft should seriously consider rejoining McCabe, and the other two boys. All four make The Verve...They should be Knighted.
