Between You And Me is the thirteenth track on Hip to the Javabean.

Lyrically, it is a love song from the perspective of a long-distance relationship.

Lyrics

(...how!)

Almost every day, I am swept away
From the dull, void and null, by the things you say
Wouldn't it be great, living in one state?
State of mind, intertwined, that you help create

When we're on the phone, I am no longer alone
It's a start, but my heart is still in another time zone
You're the greatest thing random fate couldn't bring
Still, I smile. Maybe I'll meet you in the spring

What if I don't? God I hope I do
Wishes come true

Waiting for everything to fall into place
So far a distance just to see face to face
Between you and me, I think rules don't apply
Between you and me is a space we can walk if we try

You are, indubitably
The loveliest possible person for me
Why weren't we thrown together
Somewhere nice with perfect weather?

Where cosmic placement failed
Where Serendipity dragged her tail
Is where we are right now
We must escape, but we don't know how

You know what would be rad?
If I were rich, and if I had
An aeroplane with giant wings
And funky old propeller things

I would fly right by your place
And pick you up with gentle grace
And fly straight into outer space
Just to see you face to face

And when we come back, we'll be fast asleep
Counting camels instead of sheep

Waiting for everything to fall into place
So far a distance just to see face to face
Between you and me, I think rules don't apply
Between you and me is a space we can walk if we try

Wonder if I'll ever be with you?
Do wishes come true?
God I hope they do

Trivia

• The “how” at the beginning of the song is actually part of the “And how!” from the end of Consumer Whore.
• The tail end of the final chord in this song is heard at the very beginning of the subsequent track, I’ve Got Some Falling To Do.
