## Theme

On a Instagram post from June 25, 2022. Gigi mentions:

"*When I wrote “You Me and the Stars” I imagined a dazzling night sky in the darkness and the world swirling around two people completely entranced by their own world.*"

On an article from June 30, 2022, Gigi talks a bit about how the track was conceived.

"*They balance the themes of destiny and love on my upcoming album Laura, [...] 'You Me and the Stars' is somewhat of a vision for what can be or could be, leaving the door open to possibility.*
## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

Open the door for me

I guess it’s real

Driving away

Your kiss is lingering on my lips

It’s something I can taste

I'm in the back of the cab

Watching you disappear from me

If it's forever

I don't think forever is looking pretty

You, ooh, still in me

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Never gonna let you go

Never, never, never, never gonna let you go my babe

Yeah, you whisper it

Never gonna let you go

Never, never, never, never gonna let you go my babe

You, ooh, still in me

**[Chorus]**

It was always like a rollercoaster ride

Chasing constellations staying up all night

Lying in the darkness bodies intertwined

It was you, me and the stars

It was you, me and the stars

It was you, me and the stars

**[Verse 2]**

[?]

I guess you never let anybody in your galaxy

You, ooh, still in me

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Never gonna let you go

Never, never, never, never gonna let you go my babe

Yeah, you whisper it

Never gonna let you go

Never, never, never, never gonna let you go my babe

You, ooh, still in me

**[Chorus]**

It was always like a rollercoaster ride

Chasing constellations staying up all night

Lying in the darkness bodies intertwined

It was you, me and the stars

It was you, me and the stars

It was you, me and the stars

**[Outro]**

It was you, me and the stars

It was you, me and the stars
