You & I
Twinsmith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Commonly over something we disguise
There is nothing more, between what's seen
Current emotions get the best of me
You know I love you babe
Whenever it hurts it seems to all just go away
You know I love you babe
Im calling it out when it feels just right
There is no fear breaking down on me
Constant questions of what we know
Holding the piece that gets the best of me
You know I love you babe
Whenever it hurts it seems to all just go away
You know I love you babe
Whenever it's gone it seems to all just find a place
It all just goes away
You know I love you babe
You know I love you babe
You know I love you babe
The song "You & I" by Twinsmith is a heartfelt meditation on the ups and downs of a relationship. The opening lines, "You & I both know that we disagree, commonly over something we disguise," speak to the difficulty of being in a relationship where partners don't always see eye to eye. The singer acknowledges that there is often more going on beneath the surface than what is readily apparent. This is a common theme in relationships, as it can be hard to communicate our true feelings and desires to our loved ones.
As the song progresses, we see the singer grappling with their emotions: "Current emotions get the best of me." This line speaks to the way that emotions can often cloud our judgment and make it difficult to see the bigger picture. Yet despite the difficulties, the singer is fully committed to their partner. The repeated refrain of "You know I love you babe" underscores this commitment, even in the face of disagreements and hurt feelings.
Overall, "You & I" is a tender and honest portrayal of the complexities of love and relationships. It acknowledges that relationships can be messy, but also affirms that love can be a powerful force for good in our lives.
