Just Us
Intimate Symphony: Exploring Billie Marten's Just Us
Lyrics
Just us and the two flies on the wall
Expressing a sense of intimacy and privacy with a reference to two flies as witnesses.
They're ours and we call them beautiful
Claiming ownership of the flies and finding beauty in shared experiences.
And we are the weather and we are the pain
Symbolizing the couple as the elements, both the weather and the pain in their shared existence.
Never alone and never the same
Emphasizing the idea of never being alone and the constancy of their connection.
Your legs stick out like sycamore trees
Using simile to describe the appearance of the partner's legs as sycamore trees.
I feel them grow when we're asleep
Highlighting a sense of growth and connection felt even during sleep.
It's something to hold and something to keep
Portraying their relationship as something valuable to hold onto and cherish.
Take what you have and give it to me
Encouraging the partner to share what they have, fostering a mutual exchange.
'Cause I move, you move
Repeating the idea of mutual movement and choice, reinforcing the reciprocity in their relationship.
I choose, you choose
-'Cause I move, you move
-I choose, you choose
-'Cause I move, you move
Continuation of the theme of shared movement and choices, emphasizing the partnership.
I choose, you choose
-And I move, you move
-I choose, you choose
-Just us and the two flies on the wall
Reiterating the intimate setting with the two flies as witnesses.
I do believe in miracles
Expressing belief in miracles, possibly alluding to the extraordinary nature of their connection.
