There’s Us is on the Japanese edition of Unbreakable. It’s a soft little ballad that I like. It’s just so... gentle. I also like the lyrics, even if they are a wee bit sappy. But that’s why I love BSB. They bring the sap unapologetically.

There's me Looking down at my shoes The one smiling like the sun That's you What were you thinking? What was the song inside your head?
That’s Brian. So melancholy. Where are we going with this? Seems like maybe they’re at a crossroads in the relationship. What’s going to happen next? Where does she want to take the relationship? What’s the next step? Let’s read on.
There's us Going on about a band Working out how we play our hands I lay there dreaming Later all alone in my bed If I were stupid Maybe careless So were you
Nick continues on with the melancholy feeling... through his nose. Anyway, we have a title drop. Before the chorus, too. Amazing. Nick is still wondering where the relationship is going. No one really seems to know. No longer are we staring down at shoes and smiling at the sun. Now we’re alone in beds and talking about bands. Ok.
Not everything is suppose to come true Some words are best unsaid Some love is not really love at all I'll keep everything we shared with you And that's enough There's us
That’s the chorus. Sounds like they’ve decided to break up after all. Maybe they loved each other but they weren’t in love with each other. Don’t you hate it when people say that? Often used to try and justify a break up. But they’ll treasure all the fun and stuff they have.
Freeze frame I'm not about to cry It's too late for us to change Why try I've got a camera Tucked away inside my heart
AJ here. So there might’ve been some sort of dysfunction within the relationship. Mmhmm... Whose fault was it? AJ’s not gonna point any fingers and just make a general statement that neither wanted to change. Right. But again, he’s keeping all the great memories inside.
If I'm a loser Or just unlucky So are you
Nick again. Why are we calling names? I imagine this is how a fight went. I am water and you are glue, right Nick? Nah, I’m sure that’s not what this means but it’s certainly what it sounds like.
Another chorus and then we get back to AJ...
Somewhere between then and now I looked away When you said we'll never change And if you think what might have been You'll lose today We got songs to play
??????
So she is the one that said they’ll never change. So is it her wish to end the relationship? She shouldn’t think about the what ifs because apparently she’ll realize she lost out on a good one. At least, that’s what I’m getting from this. And what is this about songs?
They do the chorus twice more. I like the way the song ends. It sounds really pretty. Especially after all the yelling that went on through the final two choruses lol. I just realized Howie didn’t really get a chance to shine on this. Sadz.
Soooo... This song is clearly about a breakup but it doesn’t seem to make much sense to me. Not a foreign concept in the world of BSB lyrics. If it rhymes then it’s fair game.
