Overview

The song was demoed in consideration for several albums and the chorus melody was used for the verses in "Prom Night", a bonus track on the Japanese release of Weezer (The White Album) and a b-side to the fan-club single "The Last Days of Summer". It was later used again for the bridge of "Iambic Pentameter", from the EP SZNZ: Winter.

The earliest known demo was for Make Believe during a June 4, 2004 pre-production recording session at S.I.R. Rehearsal Studios in Los Angeles.

Lyrics

2004 demo ... That's the way it's supposed to be Hanging out, having fun So much work to be done Out on your own We can have a lot of fun You and me together Holding on for life You and me together No more pain and strife You and me together You and me forever You and me together Holding on for life On my way to the top No one knows when to stop Hanging out, having fun So much work to be done Out on your own We can have a lot of fun You and me together Holding on for life You and me together No more pain and strife You and me together You and me forever You and me together Holding on for life And all the times You wake up in your room ... ... You and me together Holding on for life You and me together No more pain and strife You and me together You and me forever You and me together Holding on for life

You and Me Together (2013 version) It's time I call you up I hope to learn some more And I am watching you until You slam the bedroom door You turn around and notice me And then you go your way We start process up again Every single day You and me together Holding on for life You and me together No more pain and strife You and me together Faithfully forever You and me together Holding on for life I need a rocket ship 'Cause I wanna see my fate But then you tie me down And my love turns into hate That's the way the world turns It leaves us all behind And then you feel the icy clutch Of the hands of time
