lyrics

You And I

There’s something I crave more than ice cream at midnight,
Something that warms me more than the sun.
There’s somebody out there who knows what I’m thinking, Someone who knows where I’m coming from.

They say it’s a life of solitude I seek.
They say my glass is half empty.
They say I’m never gonna fill this space as I’m
Drawing an outline of your face... deep in my mind.

Ooooh...
You and I, we’re meant to find each other.
You and I, we're meant to love one another.

What people say
I let it worry me too much.
I gotta wonder “What’s the fuss?”
So many times I’ve looked right through you.

You’ve compromised,
You’ve opened wide,
So many ways I’ve let you die,
And I was scratching at the surface.

Ooooh...
You and I, we’re meant to find each other.
You and I, we're meant to love one another.

Ooooh...
You and I, we’re meant to find each other.
You and I, we're meant to love one another.

You and I, we’re meant to find each other.
You and I, we're meant to love one another.
