You and Me (feat. Aisha Fukushima & Ijeoma Oluo)

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
