Song Text
u and me, but mostly me Song Lyrics
Call me in the morning
If everything ain't broken
'Cause I know that it's hopeless
Trying to get ahold of you
But everything's so over-complicated
When we're talking about your big dreams and your real sh*t, yeah
But every time I fall in love, I fall forsaken
And I hope we can make it
'Cause love makes you crazy
Thinking you'll save me
When everything's falling
Put down your phone and say that you want me
Or ''How you been lately? ''
Cool friends, but they hate me
And I have you jumping head first in those texts firsts
No call back, if you could just go back
But I think you should be with me
You could hold me down for real, yeah
I know I'm so hard to please
And you know you can make me feel
In and out 'til I can't breathe
Stick around to watch me leave
It's you and me, but mostly me
So take a hall pass and I'll call back when it's real
Way too old, should know better
Way too overstrung to be the one you love
So maybe you should go get her
And stop f**king with me
But everything's so over-complicated
When we're talking about your big dreams and your real sh*t, yeah
But every time I fall in love, I fall forsaken
And I hope we can make it
'Cause love makes you crazy
Thinking you'll save me
When everything's falling
Put down your phone and say that you want me
Or ''How you been lately? ''
Cool friends, but they hate me
And I have you jumping head first in those texts firsts
No call back, if you could just go back
But I think you should be with me
You could hold me down for real, yeah
I know I'm so hard to please
And you know you can make me feel
In and out 'til I can't breathe (Oh, oh)
Stick around to watch me leave
It's you and me, but mostly me (Mostly me)
So take a hall pass and I'll call back when it's real
Isn't it obvious?
I never did, but hand on my heart, swear I'd never lie to ya
I thought it was obvious
That I don't mostly think of me lately
But I think you should be with me
You could hold me down for real, yeah
I know I'm so hard to please
And you know you can make me feel
In and out 'til I can't breathe (In and out 'til I can't breathe)
Stick around to watch me leave
It's you and me, but mostly me (You and me, but mostly me)
So take a hall pass and I'll call back when it's real

Annotations and Meaning:
On the other hand, ELIO's "u and me, but mostly me" deconstructs a present-day relationship through the intricate lenses of communication breakdown, self-focus, and real reaching out when faced with matters that touch on the self. The song tells a intertwined, really personal and universal story, delving into that fine line of when and where to toe the self-interest and caring-for-each-other line within romantic relationships.
The opening two lines, "Call me in the morning, / If everything ain't broken," set a tone right from the beginning: there is some unclear and fragile relationship where so many problems are still there, but hope manages to hold this thin thread. The term "If everything ain't broken" does suggest that an ongoing problem is occurring, but it doesn't suggest in the least a complete and permanent disconnection.
ELIO deals with the issue of complicating things in relationships by saying, "But everything's so over-complicated / When we're talking about your big dreams and your real sh*t," quoting or stating how personal aspirations or realities could then also be so complicated with conversation and escalate emotions into misunderstanding or become isolated.
The nature of this confession: "It's you and me, but mostly me." The nature of this admission sums up the common nature of humans to be thin-skinned about their feelings and requirements, irrespective of the intensity of love for other persons. The repetition of this line throughout the song is just meant to highlight the tension between an egotistical person and the one wishing for a sincere partnership.
In the bridge, he says, "Isn't it obvious? / I never did but, hand on my heart, swear I'd never lie to ya," talks of these realizations and even a place for the area of reflection. If at all, it does hint at the wish for some more honesty and, perhaps, less egocentrism on the part of the person, granting the fact that mutual transparency and support are of extreme importance for the sustainability of a relationship.
"You and Me, but Mostly Me" outlines the troubles of negotiating love in a world where individualism crashes up against the demands of intimacy far too often. The song really is about the difficulty of having to balance and maintain the personal demand for growth with the needs of a partner, walking a thin line of independence versus co-dependence in modern love with candid lyrics and a catchy melody. ELIO's contribution to the "Invincible (TV Series)" soundtrack provides added emotional depth as ELIO gives listeners a resounding look at self in the context of a romantic partnership.
