You and I
Trentemøller Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I just couldn't wait to see you again
No, I never, ever turned off on friends
Well, I thought I heard you say, and I know I feel the rain
But I can't give up looks until it's away

Now I just can't take, the way to live my life
Holding dear the last breath in my lungs
I know I'll see you again, see you again

Don't take my hand cause I take it away
And I take everything just to take it away
Well, you can't leave me problems
You can't give me signs
And as it easy you give, I can take it away

Now I know the things I say
Don't hold up in the rain
Everyone was a gift straight from my heart

Give it then, take it away
Take it away
Take it away
I take it away

I just couldn't wait to see you again
No, I never, ever turned off on friends
Well I thought I heard you say, and I know I feel the rain
But I can't give up looks until it's away

Don't take my hand, cause I take it away
And I take everything just take it away
I can't feel my head as it slips away
My hands touch the ground, but I'm not safe

I just couldn't wait to see you again




I just couldn't wait to see you again
See you again!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Trentemøller's song "I Know I'll See You" speak to themes of longing and loss, of the struggle to let go and move on. The opening lines, "I just couldn't wait to see you again, No, I never, ever turned off on friends," express the singer's eagerness to reconnect with someone they've been separated from for some time. They are committed to their relationships and hold onto the importance of people in their life. The lines "Well, I thought I heard you say, and I know I feel the rain, But I can't give up looks until it's away" could speak to the singer's efforts to maintain an appearance of strength and solidity, even as they acknowledge the difficulty of letting go of something.


The chorus of "I Know I'll See You" expresses the singer's sense of hope, that even though they can't hold onto everything they want, they can still look forward to reunions in the future. The lyrics "I know I'll see you again, see you again" emphasize the singer's optimism and faith that they will one day be reunited with the person they are missing.


The rest of the lyrics continue the theme of loss, with lines like "Don't take my hand, cause I take it away, And I take everything just to take it away…" expressing the singer's fear of losing what they hold dear. And yet, even as the singer grapples with the changing nature of relationships and the inevitability of loss, they are also capable of kindness and generosity, giving their heart and their gifts "straight from...the heart."


Overall, "I Know I'll See You" is a poignant and contemplative look at the nature of relationships and loss. It speaks to the human experience of longing for connection with others, even as we struggle to hold onto those connections in the face of inevitable change.

You probably won't be that surprised to hear that the Danish speaker manufacturer DALI included this on one of their demo CD's, some of them had Mike Sheridan too. Sounded amazing on their Epicon 8's ;)
