Okay, I've read that Paul wrote this song about himself and Linda, but.... I don't believe him haha. To me, the lyrics seem like he's talking about John and himself. Am I the only one that feels this way? Maybe I just like to tell myself it's about Paul and John because well, that makes it just adorable. I think I'm too sentimental for my own good...
Two of us riding nowhere
spending someone's hard earned pay
You and me Sunday driving
Not arriving on our way back home
We're on our way back home
We're on our way home
We're going home
Two of us sending postcards
writing letters on my wall
You and me burning matches
lifting latches on our way back home
We're on our way back home
We're on our way home
We're going home
You and I have memories
longer than the road
that stretches out ahead
Two of us wearing raincoats
standing solo in the sun
You and me chasing paper
getting nowhere on our way back home
We're on our way back home
We're on our way home
We're going home
You and I have memories
longer than the road
that stretches out ahead
Two of us wearing raincoats
standing solo in the sun
You and me chasing paper
getting nowhere on our way back home
We're on our way back home
We're on our way home
We're going home
We're going home

*nods*
I've always thought it was about Paul and John...especially when Paul sings "You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead." That couldn't be about Linda...although I admire the woman, she wasn't in Paul's life for that long before the song was written.

I thought the song went both ways and was never relly sure who it was about.

I haven't heard it that many times because I'm honestly not very fond of Let it Be, but it's one of my favourite tracks and I thought it was about John too, like John when they were kids, "spending someone else's hard earned pay", and of course... "You and I have memories longer than the road that stretches out ahead" - Not only because he didn't have those with Linda, but actually it was the entire OPPOSITE with Linda - they had PLENTY of road. I think that they all knew the breakup was coming, and that's why the memories were longer than the rest of the road, and so Paul wrote a song about when he and John were... kids. I think it's adorable.

I agree completely, Cran. I mean, maybe it was also about Linda, but I think it was about John. Aww. *hugs Paul*

I always thought it was about john, simply becauswe, well, they knew each othe for ages, and john IS singing the other part. It's such a cute song...

I think it's adorable. It's the same with me too... I don't listen to Let It Be that much cause there's only a couple songs on it that I like. Yeah, I always assumed that song was about him and John... never read that it was about Linda. I guess it could be though. Haha, maybe Paul's embarassed, aww. |

When I first heard it, I always thought it was about john and paul. but I think maybe it's both of them? like the writing postcards and driving nowhere bits are both like linda-ish, and the other bits seem john-ish. |
