You & I Lyrics

[Chorus]
I'm not scared of fighting
I'm just a little bit over this conversation
I'm not tryna hide it
I'm just thinking slowly

Maybe you and I could live
Together if we ever learn to ease the tension
Maybe the world isn't crazy
Maybe it's you and I, I, I

[Bridge]
Lost with a cause
Someone wrote down on a paper
That defines all the lines that we draw

But we don't understand what's unstable
Maybe we're all lonely and afraid
Maybe we're all trying to find the words to say
Maybe we just need love (Give me some)
Love (Give me some)
Love (Give me some)
Love


[Chorus]
I'm not scared of fighting
I'm just a little bit over this conversation
I'm not tryna hide it
I'm just thinking slowly
Maybe you and I could live
Together if we ever learn to ease the tension
Maybe the world isn't crazy, no
(Maybe it's you and I)
Maybe the world isn't crazy, oh no
(Maybe it's you and I)
I said, maybe the world isn't crazy
Maybe it's you and I, I, I

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Colony House say about "You & I"?
Genius Answer

Lyrically and musically this song pushed us out of what’s comfortable to us. In a time in history that feels so fragile we feel like this song takes a different perspective…the lyric ‘Maybe the world isn’t crazy / Maybe it’s You & I’ is our attempt to look at ourselves before we point a finger at someone else. Musically, we approached this song like a live show. We recorded it as one take with all of us playing our instruments in a room at the same time. That approach really helped us draw out the emotion and urgency that the song expresses.
