You and Me ft. Aisha Fukushima & Ijeoma Oluo Lyrics

We made it out the fire together

Been all around the world and said vows together

My today, my tomorrow, and forever

We lost things but it's you I treasure

We built up a whole new home that's better

Than the one we fled from

We've been tested by so much

But at the end of it all home is your touch

To my best friend I still crush on

Who I laugh everyday with, five years strong

Loving you is so easy, when the world goes wrong

We still find a way to live a beautiful song

With no drama at all, just a place of calm

And sweetness that has stayed a balm

Plus all the real talk they'd expect from us

The best part of my last five years is us

I mean every single moment that we shared my love

My love, my love, my love, my love

You and me

We made it out the fire together

Our love, our love, our love

So serene

Let's be the love song that we want to hear

It's a magic that's hard to capture

Your pen gets closer, let's write these chapters

We might learn French and move out to Paris

Build a whole new home that we learn to cherish

I never knew our 40's would be so live

I'm excited to see all the ways that we might thrive

What happens when the books are what you really want to write?

Plus those unknown crafts that I know you're gonna try

You inspire me to listen to the voice inside

And don't just settle for what happens in life

We gon work through any of our strife

Like we have love, every single time

I want to love and keep growing with you

Want to keep a home where kids will want to visit us too

So let's be the Black love song that we want to hear

Until we're old and we're gray and the day that we're out of here

My love, my love, my love

You and me

You and me

Our love, our love, our love

So serene

So serene

You know, love is that space to recoup and rejuvenate

And have peace and calm even in really tough times

And everything that we've been through these last few years

That has deepened the safety that we've built around each other

And the comfort and the calm that we've built around each other

Our relationship has gotten easier

As the world around us has gotten harder

Because we have dedicated more time and energy into building that for each other

And it really makes me feel like we can survive anything

And that we can find joy in any time

And it's such a beautiful and simplistic view of love that I never thought was possible

It's elegant in its simplicity

And it makes you feel almost invincible

Yeah
