Nothing Could Come Between Us
Theory of a Deadman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wishing you were here, I guess I should watch what I wish for
You're right on time, so invite me in
This is where your trouble begins
But I like you better than the other ones
You say I'm right when you know I'm wrong
We could never just get along
And then those words get in the way
She said...
Nothing could come between us
One of those favorite things that she used to say
That's just what she said
Nothing could come between us
Sorry to say but I don't feel the same
You're so damn relentless, and you will find,
The two of us are like two of a kind
But it hits you harder than the other ones
You said it loosely, when I'm just sitting here with myself
Don't you hate when it gets stuck in your mouth
And then those words get in the way
She said...
Nothing could come between us
One of those favorite things that she used to say
That's just what she said
Nothing could come between us
Sorry to say but I don't feel the same
Since home is where the hurt is
It's on your conscience, I'm not for sale
It's on your conscience, I'm not for sale
Nothing could come, oh nothing could come
She said...
Nothing could come between us
One of those favorite things that she used to say
That's just what she said
Nothing could come between us
Sorry to say but I don't feel the same
Since home is where the hurt is
Oh nothing, oh nothing, oh nothing
It's on your conscience, I'm not for sale
The first few lines of the song, "Well I'm running back and forth from here to South Carolina, Wishing you were here, I guess I should watch what I wish for", suggests a sense of longing for someone who is not present, but upon their arrival, the singer realizes that trouble is ahead. The lyrics seem to depict a toxic relationship where the two people involved can't seem to get along, but the singer wants to fix things because they believe they have something special between them. However, they soon realize that the other person is too aggressive and forceful, as seen in the line "You're so damn relentless and you will find." The other person wants to control the situation, but the singer doesn't want to be controlled or manipulated.
The repeated refrain of "Nothing could come between us" seems ironic since there is clearly a fundamental problem in the relationship, but could also indicate almost a stubbornness on the singer's part of not wanting to let go. The line "Since home is where the hurt is" suggests that the singer associates the relationship with their sense of home, but also acknowledges that being with this person causes them pain.
Overall, the song explores the complicated nature of relationships where two people may not be good for each other, but the connection between them is strong enough to make it difficult to let go.

You said something carelessly when I was already feeling bad about myself.
Since home is where the hurt is
I feel pain and sadness when at home.
It's on your conscience, I'm not for sale
You should feel guilty for what you've done, and I can't be bought or easily won back.
Oh nothing, oh nothing, oh nothing
There's nothing left to say or do.
It's on your conscience, I'm not for sale
You should feel guilty for what you've done, and I can't be bought or easily won back.
