Our Song Lyrics
All I have, I will give to you
In dark times when no one wants to
I will give you me
And we'll be
Us
All I have, I will give to you
In dark times when no one wants to
I will give you me
And we'll be
Us
[Chorus: Oliver Sim & Romy Madley Croft]
And there's no one else
Who knows me
Like you do
What I've done, you've done too
The walls I
Hide behind
You walk through
You just walk through
[Verse 2: Oliver Sim & Romy Madley Croft]
Well I know all the words
To take you apart
You know I know your heart
I want to mend your heart
You're broke down
Why don't you tell me from the start?
You know I know your heart
I want to mend your heart
And there's no one else
Who knows me
Like you do
What I've done
You've done too
The walls I
Hide behind
You walk through
You just walk through
About
While xx singer/songwriters Oliver and Romy always seem to singing at each other, the truth is that they often write their lyrics alone and about different people. “Our Song”, however, is about the band and Oliver and Romy’s friendship that started as toddlers.
At the time of its release, this song seemed to confirm just how well the group got along. But stories about about the tension and Oliver’s struggle with alcoholism after the success of xx makes it more likely that it was written during a tough period. Despite it all, Romy makes it clear she will be there for Oliver through whatever, and vice versa.

Romy Madley Croft: “It’s a friendship song. It’s the first time we’ve kind of just written about the love of friendship. Oliver and I felt quite keen to write a song that we felt reflected off each other. It’s for Jamie as well. It’s the only song where I’ve ever addressed Oliver and he’s addressing me.”
