You & I

You and I
Can’t seem to get this quite right
You and I
At each others throats every night
Only to
Reunite
Over some lines and insight
We drink to oblivion
Can we ever come back?
You and I
Walk miles ad infinitum
Will we ever come back?

Music is our common language (you and I)
Between the mumbles and asides
How do we manage (you and I)
To push back the coming tides?
Our time is always at stake
The last straw always set to break
Still we keep on fragile ground
Treading softly, hating the sound

You and I
See ourselves in one another
And don’t favor the reflection
You and I
Could, in good graces, be brothers
If we could only bear the relation
You and I
I’m afraid nothing can save us, I pray
Cuz who wants to be saved anyway?
Cuz who wants to be saved anyway?

We can only be all we are, you and I
To be anymore would only be a lie
