You and Me Lyrics

Want to pack your bags something small
Take what you need and we'll disappear
Without a trace we'll be gone
Moon and the stars will follow the car
And then when we get to the ocean
Gonna take a boat to the end of the world
All the way to the end of the world
Oh, and when the kids are old enough we're gonna teach them to fly

You and me together
We can do anything baby
You and me together yes yes
You and me together
We can do anything baby
You and me together yes yes

You and I are not tied to the ground
Not falling but rising like rolling around
Eyes closed above the rooftops
With eyes closed we're gonna spin through the stars
Our arms wide as the sky we're gonna ride the blue
All the way to the end of the world
When the kids are old enough we're gonna teach them to fly

You and me together
We can do anything baby
You and me together yes yes
You and me together
We can do anything baby
You and me together yes yes

You and me together
We can do anything baby
You and me together yeah yeah
The two of us together
We can do anything baby
The two of us together yeah yeah
The two of us together yeah yeah
The two of us together
We can do anything baby

The sun is swollen
Till we reach the end of the world

There's a bit missing:

We can always look back at what we did Always the memory of you and me baby But right now it's you and me forever girl You know we can do better than anything that we did You know that you and me we can do anything

This song is beautiful, amazing, wonderful...I simply cannot stop listening to it. It's about escaping with the one you love to forever. The last part nods to leaving behind the past and just looking forward to what you will have together. And the line "When the kids are old enough we're gonna teach them how to fly"...they're going to teach how they love and live to their children...I love it!

A brilliant album.

I'm pretty sure it's about his wife/ to his wife.

This song has a very deep meaning to me personally. I have been in love with my best friend since middle school... there was never a good time to tell her and last week I find myself in the situation of professing my love to her. She is married but seperated, 2 kids... 2 kids that I absolutely love. I see this song as myself convincing her to be with me. We could do anything together, and when the kids are old enough we can teach them to fly! "Say Goodbye" used to be the song I would play and think about her, and now it is this. I read a Dave quote somewhere that said "A guy and a girl can be just friends, but at one point or another they will fall for eachother. Maybe temporarily, maybe at the wrong time, maybe too late or maybe even forever"... how is it that he is always so on the money?

@Grux so how did it turn out?

Ya, by far the best song on the album.

MY FAVORITE

At the very end there is a repeated sax part. This whole album is pretty much a tribute to the former fallen comrade LeRoi Moore. Since it is the same thing over and over, is it known whether this is the last of LeRoi's sax playing or is it a Jeff Coffin tribute?

Either way, it is very fitting to way to end the whole album!

Memory

I looked around to see if I could find any info on this but there's nothing really up about it yet. My guess is that it's probably LeRoi, since they opened the album with him, it's only fitting they close with him too.

I think I read on Dave's twitter, when asked what parts of the album were Leroi and what parts were Jeff, he replied: If you can't hear the difference, then it doesn't matter. It's not the response I had expected to read at all, but that's what he said. But my guess is it's Leroi, and I'll second Ohlyndsey.

I just can't stop listening to this song. The kick drum during the chorus(its very soft, hard to hear) seems to always go right in beat with my heart. ITS GREAT! This song is beautiful. Its about finding the one you love and raising kids and spending your future with them. I think i heard on the Fuse Documentary that was on all this week, this song was about him and his wife.
I recall him saying something like this - this whole album is dark and bring out a lot of deep stuff, not until the last song about my wife where it gets a bit brighter.

Not Dave's best work lyrically by any stretch of the imagination. But it's a fun song with a nice accoustic guitar sound. It is about a couple sending their kids off in the world and living out their retired lives together.

I disagree... It's about a couple beginning there lives together with endless possibilities
