You & I
Armin van Buuren Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

She walks home late at night
As she says her goodbyes
She's close to sacrifice
She knows something ain't right

It ain't easy
And it ain't pleasing
She's just tryna find a way out there
She put our faith in
And all that chasing
She's just tryna find love out there
And she cries

I need you
Like the wave needs an ocean
Like the love needs devotion
I need you
Like the desert pleads for water
Like a mission needs a martyr
I need you
Every minute, every hour
I lay broken like a flower
'Cause I need you, I need you

She's lost her way of life
Feels like a hole inside
She wants to feel alive
And nothing satisfies

It ain't easy
And it ain't pleasing
She's just tryna find a way out there
She put our faith in
And all that chasing
She's just tryna find love out there
And she cries

I need you
Like the wave needs an ocean
Like the love needs devotion
I need you
Every minute, every hour
I lay broken like a flower
'Cause I need you
Like the wave needs an ocean
Like the love needs devotion
I need you
Like the desert pleads for water
Like a mission needs a martyr
I need you
Every minute, every hour




I lay broken like a flower
'Cause I need you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Armin van Buuren's "I Found You" depict a woman who is lost, searching for something that can't seem to be found. She walks home late at night, saying her goodbyes, and knowing that something just isn't right. As the song progresses, it becomes clear that she is searching for love, putting all her faith and energy into trying to find it.


The repetition of "It ain't easy, and it ain't pleasing" underscore the sense of struggle and difficultly this woman faces in her search for love. She cries out for the person she needs, saying that her need for them is like the wave needs an ocean or a desert needs water. Even as she's lost her way in life, feeling like there is a hole inside her that nothing can fill, she believes that the answer lies in finding that one person who can make her feel alive.


Overall, the theme of the song is the human need for connection and the search for love. The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has felt lost, alone, or like they are searching for something that they can't quite identify. The repetition of the chorus echoes this desperation, making "I Found You" an emotional and powerful song about the human condition.

LYRICS

[Verse 1]
I still think about you now
You were always with me in my mind
For all this time
I still dream about the day
That you return the meaning to this place
The sun will rise for you and I
For you and I
You and I

[Chorus]
The distance between us
Was never far through highways
And time waits for no one
But I do 'cause it's always you
You and I
It's always you
You and I

[Verse 2]
I still think about you now
Do you recall the meaning in those days
Before we change
And I still dream about your face
But feeling that you're just one step away
Would never fade, like you and I
You and I
You and I

[Chorus]
The distance between us
Was never far through highways
And time waits for no one
But I do 'cause it's always you
You and I
It's always you
You and I
