You & Me
Marc E. Bassy/G-Eazy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Girl you party all the time
Don't let me stay on your mind
Adderall and cheap wine
Just to stay awake in conversation
We were always so damn insecure
So how could we ever know for sure
Disregard the way I know we feel
That would make this city way too real
If we bump into each other
On a crowded street
It’s not us no more
It’s just you and me
We’re just strangers in passing casually
It’s not us no more
It’s just you and me

Shirt on my back with the rips
Gems in my golden necklace
You didn't give me none of this
There's nothing for me to miss
We were too young on the day we met
How could we say we would not forget
And in the shadows there's a place for us
Somewhere hidden they can't find our love
Don't let 'em know

If we bump into each other
On a crowded street
It’s not us no more
It’s just you and me
We’re just strangers in passing casually
It’s not us no more
It’s just you and me

Eazy, and these days it's just you and me
This shit is dead and gone, it's not what it used to be
Someone give a eulogy
I know I'm hard headed and I might of acted foolishly
But you the one to hold us down usually
Yeah, we was in a limbo
But of all people you ain't have to fuck with him though
That was my homie, I gave y'all the intro
Some things fall apart and some get thrown out the window
Remember when we first met we might've been too young
But we was from The Bay so we both was going too dumb
I used to be the one for you now you got a new one
So 'till the next lifetime, maybe we can do some'n (Eazy)

If we bump into each other
On a crowded street
It’s not us no more
It’s just you and me
We’re just strangers in passing casually
It’s not us no more
It’s just you and me

If we bump into each other

On a crowded street
It's not us no more

Overall Meaning

The song “You & Me” by Marc E. Bassy and G-Eazy talks about the end of a relationship and the pain of running into each other after the breakup. The lyrics indicate a deep sense of insecurity and uncertainty that characterized the relationship, exemplified by the line “We were always so damn insecure, so how could we ever know for sure.” The use of Adderall and cheap wine to stay awake during conversations hints at the difficulty of staying present and engaged with each other, and also alludes to the superficiality of the relationship.

Despite the difficulties, however, there is still a sense of shared history and intimacy that the two people have, symbolized by “the shadows there’s a place for us, somewhere hidden they can’t find our love.” However, the song is also about acceptance of the end of the relationship and the realization that bumping into each other on the street won’t be the same anymore. The chorus repeats the idea that “It’s not us no more, it’s just you and me / We’re just strangers in passing casually,” emphasizing the finality of the breakup.

Overall, “You & Me” is a poignant reflection on the pain of letting go and moving on from a relationship, and the struggles of accepting the end and a new reality of being strangers.

Line by Line Meaning

Girl you party all the time
I can see that you indulge yourself in partying and having a good time, but it seems like you're not thinking much about me

Don't let me stay on your mind
You seem to have better things to do than to think about me all the time

Adderall and cheap wine
You use drugs and alcohol to keep yourself energized and stay up late talking to me

Just to stay awake in conversation
You use substances just to keep the conversation going without falling asleep or getting bored

We were always so damn insecure
Both of us were always nervous and uncertain about our feelings towards each other

So how could we ever know for sure
Given our insecurities, it was difficult for us to ever conclude that we were meant to be together

Disregard the way I know we feel
Let's ignore what we truly feel inside, to avoid dealing with the uncomfortable reality

That would make this city way too real
Accepting our true feelings would require us to face the harsh reality of our situation, which seems unbearable

If we bump into each other
In the unlikely event that we see each other

On a crowded street
In a busy public area

It’s not us no more
We're no longer the couple we used to be

It’s just you and me
We're just two strangers passing each other by

We’re just strangers in passing casually
We're just two people who used to be close, but now we're just strangers who casually pass each other

Shirt on my back with the rips
I'm wearing a shirt that's torn and ripped

Gems in my golden necklace
I'm wearing a necklace that has precious gems embedded in it

You didn't give me none of this
You didn't contribute anything to my wardrobe or jewelry collection

There's nothing for me to miss
I don't miss anything about you or our relationship

We were too young on the day we met
When we first met, we were both too inexperienced and naive

How could we say we would not forget
Given our youth, it was not reasonable to promise each other that we would never forget each other

And in the shadows there's a place for us
There's a hidden place where we can be together, away from watchful eyes

Somewhere hidden they can't find our love
We can hide our love from everyone else, who wouldn't understand our relationship

Don't let 'em know
Let's keep our love a secret from others, who would try to interfere or judge us

Eazy, and these days it's just you and me
Most recently, it's been just us, with no one else involved

This shit is dead and gone, it's not what it used to be
Our relationship is now over and done with, and it's not as good as it used to be

Someone give a eulogy
Our relationship deserves a eulogy, as it has come to an end

I know I'm hard headed and I might of acted foolishly
I realize that I can be stubborn and have made some stupid decisions in our relationship

But you the one to hold us down usually
Despite my shortcomings, you were the one to keep our relationship together, usually

Yeah, we was in a limbo
We were stuck in a state of uncertainty and inaction in our relationship

But of all people you ain't have to f**k with him though
You should not have gotten romantically involved with someone else

That was my homie, I gave y'all the intro
I introduced you to my friend who you ended up being interested in

Some things fall apart and some get thrown out the window
Some relationships disintegrate on their own, while sometimes one person makes the final decision to end it

Remember when we first met we might've been too young
We were young when we met, which may have contributed to us not being able to make it work

But we was from The Bay so we both was going too dumb
We were both living carelessly and having fun at the time, being from the San Francisco Bay Area

I used to be the one for you now you got a new one
I used to be your partner, but now you have moved on to someone else

So 'till the next lifetime, maybe we can do some'n (Eazy)
Perhaps in a future life, we can try to make our relationship work out better
