Them vs. You vs. Me Lyrics

We left and as soon as we did I knew
There was a bad taste in our mouths
Awareness didn't come too soon
But you finally tasted it too

It's just another case of fucking up
A perfectly good afternoon
Every manner that I forgot
Could have helped me out of acting cruel

But I wasn't in the least distraught
Though my jokes were bombing
I got to feeling like my timing was off
But baby that's just not me

So as far as anyone can see
They'd be helpless not to agree
They're driving miles between us three
It was them versus you versus me

And as soon as we drove right through
Thirty seconds without a word
It was then that I knew for sure
I wasn't gonna hear a word from you

And the road became the radio
And we scowled at the beautiful trees
I was thinking of what went wrong
I thought baby it's not just me

So as far as anyone can see
They'd be helpless not to agree
They're driving miles between us three
It was them versus you versus me

So as far as anyone can see
They'd be helpless not to agree
They're driving miles between us three
It was them versus you versus me
It was them versus you versus me
It was them versus you versus me
It was them versus you versus me
It was them versus you versus me
It was them versus you versus me
It was them versus you versus me
It was them versus you versus me
It was them versus you versus me
It was them versus you versus me

We left and as soon as we did I knew
There was a bad taste in our mouths
Awareness didn't come too soon
But you finally tasted it too

It's just another case of fucking up
A perfectly good afternoon
Every manner that I forgot
Could have helped me out of acting cruel

But I wasn't in the least distraught
Though my jokes were bombing
I got to feeling like my timing was off
But baby that's just not me

So as far as anyone can see
They'd be helpless not to agree
They're driving miles between us three
It was them versus you versus me

And as soon as we drove right through
Thirty seconds without a word
It was then that I knew for sure
I wasn't gonna hear a word from you

And the road became the radio
And we scowled at the beautiful trees
I was thinking of what went wrong
I thought baby it's not just me

So as far as anyone can see
They'd be helpless not to agree
They're driving miles between us three
It was them versus you versus me

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I think this song is about a guy who is hanging out with his woman and her friends and he's cracking some jokes but the other girls think the jokes are tasteless or rude while obviously the guy thinks the other girls are uptight. The jokes create strife and each set of people are now at some sort of odds with each other.
