Both of Us
You vs Yesterday Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

blonde hair, green eyes
somehow always taking her time
she's got a body that could drive a man right out of his mind
and she knows it
and she uses it well, oh she uses it well oh oh

calling all the shots, she thinks she's got me figured out
but really I'm the only one she's always thinking about
right now it works
but lasting only time can tell,
only time can tell

if this is what you want
then lets just call this love
I've got a feeling like its meant to be the
both of us

sometimes I wonder if I'm just wasting my time
cuz all you ever do is sit on your throne of lies
you know it, I know it too
we're all on to you
and you can't lie to a liar
but you can fight with a fighter
it's all fuel to the fire that destroys the hearts you steal
the hearts you steal

if this is what you want
then let's just call this love
I've got a feeling like its meant to be the
both of us
and if its not enough
we'll kiss and fight, make up
I've got a feeling like its meant to be the
both of us

I'm just another b-side to your bed
your favorite remix
nothing more, nothing less
you've got me thinking that
you know it, i know it too
we're all on to you and
whats another stupid phone call?
as if cupid had no backbone





I've got a feeling like its meant to be the both of us

Overall Meaning

The song "Both of Us" by You vs Yesterday is a tale of a man who is enamored by an attractive woman who uses her looks to her advantage. With her blonde hair and green eyes, the woman takes her time and has the power to drive men crazy. She knows it and uses it to her advantage, calling all the shots in their relationship. Despite this, the man is convinced that they are meant to be together, even though he knows deep down that things might not last. He is willing to fight for their relationship, with the understanding that it may not work out in the end.


The second verse takes on a darker tone. The man is beginning to see through the woman's facade and realizes that she is a liar who toys with people's emotions. Despite this, he is still willing to try and make their relationship work. The chorus repeats, with the man still believing that they are meant to be together. The bridge brings some self-awareness, with the man recognizing that he may just be another notch on the woman's bedpost. However, he is still convinced that they are meant to be together, regardless of the potential heartbreak.


Overall, "Both of Us" is a song about the complexities of relationships and the hope that they can work out, even when the odds are stacked against them. It also delves into the idea of attraction and how it can be both a blessing and a curse in relationships.
