You and I
Embracing Love's Battle: You and I
Lyrics
Caught me in a daydream the tail end of summer
Caught in a daydream towards the end of summer, a nostalgic and dreamy moment.
Just two clean slates with a whole lot of color
Both individuals are starting with a clean slate, bringing a lot of vibrancy and potential.
Now it's all sunset flying hands out your window
Experiencing a moment of shared joy, possibly driving with hands out the window during sunset.
Dropping subtle hints all the way home
Dropping subtle hints, possibly expressing feelings without being too explicit.
Guard's down... it's like you're all that I know
Feeling vulnerable and open, as if the other person is everything the speaker knows.
You and I
Emphasizing the connection between "You and I," a recurring theme in the lyrics.
Yea, we're trying to fight it all alone in our feelings
Acknowledging the struggle of dealing with emotions independently.
You and I
Reiterating the central theme of the relationship between "You and I."
We keep trying to hide it from the first drunken weekend
Trying to conceal emotions, especially from the beginning of the relationship.
All my insecurities fall right into place
Insecurities fitting perfectly into the dynamics of the relationship.
Draw me back to clarity when you say my name
The mention of clarity coming back when the other person says the speaker's name.
You and I
Reaffirming the connection between "You and I."
Why we trying to fight it? Cause it should be you and I
Questioning the resistance to the relationship, suggesting it should be "You and I."
Watch me fall apart from an arms length away
Expressing vulnerability and falling apart, possibly due to distance or emotional separation.
Now I'm taking it to heart you only call me when you're faded
Noticing that the other person only reaches out when they are in a state of intoxication.
I should be washed up... burnt out... dirt dragging your name
Feeling worn out and used but still holding onto the other person's name.
But when I lay still I see your face
Despite challenges, the memory of the other person's face remains.
Don't tell me now... you're checked out and moving on
Addressing the possibility of the other person moving on and checking out emotionally.
You and I
Reiterating the struggle of emotions between "You and I."
Yea, we're trying to fight it all alone in our feelings
Repeating the theme of trying to face emotions alone.
You and I
Continuing the effort to conceal true feelings since the beginning.
We keep trying to hide it from the first drunken weekend
Repeating the idea that insecurities fit into the relationship.
All my insecurities fall right into place
Highlighting the role of insecurities in the dynamics between "You and I."
Draw me back to clarity when you say my name
Emphasizing the clarity that comes when the other person says the speaker's name.
You and I
Reaffirming the central connection between "You and I."
Why we trying to fight it? Cause it should be you and I
Questioning the resistance to the relationship, suggesting it should be "You and I."
Holding out cause one slip was head first straight to the ground
Holding back emotions to avoid a potential emotional downfall.
Bet you thought it'd be you... Cause I thought it'd be me
Expressing mutual surprise that the relationship isn't going as expected.
And even if the signs don't take, and it all ends in ruin
Even if signs point to failure, the speaker is willing to try and avoid self-regret.
I won't forgive myself if I don't give it a try
Acknowledging the potential pain of losing the connection between "You and I."
What could be worse than losing... you and I?
Questioning what could be worse than losing the relationship with "You and I."
