Between Us
Intoxicating Nights: Between Us, Moonlight, and Goodbye Kiss
Lyrics
Between us there’s an empty barstool
There's an emotional gap between us symbolized by an empty barstool.
Tequila tells me I should move in closer to ya
Tequila encourages the narrator to get closer to the person.
So tell me what’s your name?
The narrator seeks to know the person's name, indicating a desire for connection.
Do you wanna
Possibly suggesting another round of drinks and extending the moment.
Have another drink
The offer of a drink, specifically suggesting a Corona, as an icebreaker.
How bout a Corona?
A casual suggestion for a specific drink to share.
I know that I don’t really even know ya
Acknowledging a lack of knowledge about the person but expressing openness.
But I’m thinking I can see us with nothing
The narrator envisions a future together despite the initial unfamiliarity.
In Between Us
Highlighting the theme of the song, emphasizing the emotional space between them.
But the moonlight and the feeling
Moonlight and a goodbye kiss evoke a romantic atmosphere.
Of an all night goodbye kiss
The feeling of a prolonged farewell kiss intensifies the emotional connection.
So close I can feel it
A sense of physical closeness, with emotions resonating deeply.
Underneath my skin
The emotional impact is profound, reaching beneath the surface.
Pressed up against me so tight
A physical closeness that shields them from external influences.
Nothing’s getting in
Emphasizing the impenetrability of their emotional connection.
Between Us I know I probably already said too much
The acknowledgment of having shared significant feelings, possibly too soon.
It’s hard to keep the truth in with a good buzz
The difficulty of concealing the truth when influenced by alcohol.
But with a little luck we can end up
Expressing hope that, with luck, they can end up together despite uncertainties.
With nothing
Reiterating the desire for a connection with nothing holding them back.
In Between Us
Repeating the theme of the emotional gap between the narrator and the person.
But the moonlight and the feeling
Recalling the romantic atmosphere and a prolonged goodbye kiss.
Of an all night goodbye kiss
The lingering feeling of a deep connection under the moonlight.
So close I can feel it
Physical closeness intensifies, with emotions deeply felt.
Underneath my skin
Emotions resonating beneath the surface, creating a profound connection.
Pressed up against me so tight
Reinforcing the idea of being closely pressed together.
Nothing’s getting in
Highlighting the strength of their connection, impervious to external influences.
Between Us
Repeating the central theme of the emotional gap between them.
(Oh Between Us)
An emotional bridge, expressed with a longing tone.
I can feel it heatin’ up
Sensing a rising passion or intensity in the emotional connection.
It ain't love
Clarifying that the intense connection isn't love but something substantial.
