This is a rather giddy love song about being so thoroughly smitten with a girl that time and space seem irrelevant. Lifehouse lead singer Jason Wade wrote it for his girlfriend, Braeden, whom he married in 2001. He proposed to her using an early version of the song he had on cassette; after the song was finally released in 2005, it became a very popular wedding song. "It was this special song to me that was laying around," Wade told Billboard. "Literally, the first version was on a cassette tape - so '80s. It was kind of my wedding song. It was so personal, so it was very interesting to me that it became this wedding anthem."
Originally titled "You And Me And All Of The People," this song was revived and renamed to the shorter "You and Me." It was left off the band's second album, but was released as the first single from Lifehouse's third album.
The song spent 62 weeks on the Hot 100, breaking the record for the longest stay for a track by a rock band. The record was later equaled by The Lumineers "Ho Hey."
