Matthew Barber - You And Me Lyrics

He said himself it is a break up song... so the last verse probably eludes to that aspect of the relationship!

"like the river and the sea, like the flower and the tree, like the birds and the bees" him and his love are similar but they have some differences too, they share characteristics, like rivers and seas both hold water, flowers and trees are both plants, birds and bees both fly
"like the violence and the calm, like the poem and the song, like the captain and the fleet" him and his love play off of each other, there can't be one of them without the other, they complete each other and help each other become better
"like the fire and the ice, like the virtue and the vice, like the verdict and the plea" they are opposites, they are of the same world but on opposite ends
"like the wealthy and the poor, like the battle and the *war, oh the one that asks for more, is bound to end *up sore" this is where I'm not really sure
at the end he also repeats "like hell and heaven meet"
they are opposites but in a positive way because they learn from each other and help each other to become more balanced
if that makes any sense... I'm just guessing on all of this
