You And I


Give me everything you have

Whatever is left

Give it to me

Let me make something

Out of nothing

Take my hand

And let me

Take you home

Because you weren't meant

To be alone

So cold

You were always meant

To be loved

 

You need me

And I need you

I need you to remind me

Wake me up

I've been asleep

For years it seems

So I turn to you

I'm hoping someone like you

Can save

Someone like me

Maybe

Just maybe

You and I

Are more alike

Then we ever thought

Maybe tonight

Is the first night

Of the rest of our lives

 

It's been so long

Too long

Since I belonged

To anyone

To anything

It's been so long

SInce anyone

Asked my name

And wanted to know my story

Know me inside and out

So I'm starting to wonder

Maybe you could be

The one

Who saves me

Tonight

Here

Now

In this broken down town

Where our hearts

Were both run down

 

So take my hand

And I'll take you in

I'll do my best

To show you

Everything you and I both missed

All those times

All those close calls

Maybe 

Just maybe

You and I

Never had shot

In this broken down town

Where our hearts got run down

Maybe

Just maybe

You and I

Were always meant 

For so much more
