if
Us and Them Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Was on a Sunday
And the autumn leaves were on the ground
I kicked my heart
When I saw you standing there in your dress of blue
The storm was over, my ship sailed through

What is this feeling
A-what can I do?

If you and I, could be relieved
To walk and talk and be deceived
I'd give my all and all
And more I would do, oh yeah
If darlin', only you and I could be as two

If we could dream and buy our dreams
Sew this wicked world up at the seams
I'd give my life and more I would do
If darlin', only you and I could be as two

And baby, do you remember
All the good times we had together?
A-walkin' through the park
A-baby then, then we could sing

Give ya' all my money
Ev'rything in the world that I had
You told me, that don't mean a thing

If still in darkness we could run
Together, there in that mornin' sun
I'd give my all, my life and ev'rything to you
Whoa-yeah
If darlin', only you and I could be as two

Could be as two
Could be as two





Could be as two
Baby

I am wondering what this particular emotion is


A-what can I do?
I am looking for a solution

Loved💕💕💕💕this movie. Beautifully done. The characters, story, the realistic portrayal of the struggle when poor (humane and beautiful thank you, the scene of the cubicle housing from ceiling point was brutally honest💕) the love and the tensions economics has on relationships

I love Asian shows and really appreciate Chinese and Taiwan dramas esp for the class lens. But also showing other issues like speaking to power and often the sad results, anyways the ending in this story was heartfelt. Regret but hope also, loving someone even after the fact.

Im not good at relaying how movies make me feel—I just know this one moved me a great deal. 💕💕

Btw I watch with sub-titles. I LOVE foreign films. Hate horror, smut, porn culture garbage. America Use to have great films but they dumbed down now 95% of them are pure trash. (Music the same). So I expanded watching foreign films.

Just started Kdramas and Cdramas this year and am hooked. LoL like addicted. Still like watching British mysteries. Dr.Who and Sherlock. And Canadian series—oh Mr. Robot. But yes, for dramas, comedies and romance Asians just write beautiful heart ❤️ stories, some of the Best ever.

This movie was incredibly bittersweet. So well done. It felt very realistic and not like some crazy never-going-to-happen romance film you usually see. I'm not even sure if I'd call it a romance after watching it. Finishing it at 1 AM, I cried, especially at the end of the credits when Lin Jianqing is talking to his father. So powerful. I want to show this film to others, but I'm not going to show them this trailer, for it gives too much away I feel. This movie is better seen with absolutely no information about it, like how I saw it; I found it on Netflix at random and instantly watched it without even reading the Netflix information. What a damn good film. I will definitely watch again.

@D it’s been a while but “Dear Ex” was surely a tearjerker. I still have it on my Netflix favorites list.

@Trish C02 I still remember when I saw "Dear Ex" two years ago, that movie crushed my soul istg.

Aaron Ooi

this is a soul-crushing and also heartbreaking movie. This also describes parent's feeling when their kids are away from home especially on traditional day Lunar New Year. Time flies but the love that they used to have is still some how exist inside them. The characters do really reflected how teenagers nowaday are trying their best to find their own path in life and struggle to be who they want to be between love and family.Brilliant and touching movie!
