You and Me

from Breaking Cover by Ray Zimmerman

about

I wrote this song for my beautiful wife, the reference in verse 2 is for her amazingly cool star wars pyjamas, but I hope a lot of the stuff in here is pretty universal, enjoy!

lyrics

We like to lay in bed and talk,
And share the burden of our thoughts,
But you've been known to fall asleep quite fast,

And i'll watch you as you start to dream,
With Vader Trooper on your sleeve,
I always knew this love was gonna last,

Cos baby you and me be like the leaves up in the trees,
I'll fall down to the ground right beside you,
Cos baby you and me be just like whispers on the breeze,
I'll be flowers, you'll be morning dew,

And like the trade-winds of the Pacific,
You're weirdly specific,
If you coloured in you'd be right inside the lines,

You move the cushions on our sofa,
So they're a couple inches closer,
And you made me paint the hallway three damn times,

Cos baby you and me know that the best things are for free,
Thought the diamond on your finger you'll concede,
Cos baby you and me be like an island in the sea,
We'll have between us everything we need,

And we'll travel round and see the world,
I'll be your man you'll be my girl,
I'll photograph the places we have been,

Like Italian lakes and North Shore breaks,
Venetian jazz and the Empire State,
Are lithographed in to my memory,

Cos baby you and me be digging holes into the beach,
And kids will come and see what we have made,
Cos baby you and me be holding hands to fall asleep,
And I won't be letting go when you're awake,

And we sometimes get frustrated,
And complain it's antiquated,
That they don't give us more time to hide away,

But when you're disillusioned,
I will speak of my conclusion,
That this life's a test to test this love's to stay,

Cos baby you and me be running wild and running free,
And they'll never catch us now that much I know,
Cos baby you and me be like the birds and all the bees,
And I'll hold you like I'll never let you go,

And sometimes I will think of this,
Of holding hands or our first kiss,
And i'll know that there are chapters still unread,

But I never woke again,
To hold your hand or say your name,
I'll tell the angels of the lives we led,

Cos baby you and me be making two turn into three,
And it's kind of nice to think of days to come,
Cos baby you and me know just where we want to be,
And we'll get there like two lovers on the run,

Cos baby you and me be like a padlock and its key,
We'll fit together just like we're meant to do,
Cos baby you me remember all the days like these,
When we're grey and older you and me
