You And I
Barns Courtney Lyrics

Suitcase in your hand
You have packed your bags and are preparing to leave town.

Wave goodbye to mom and dad
You are saying your goodbyes to your family before embarking on a new journey.

Never thought I would see the back of you
You never imagined a scenario where you would part ways with the person you are addressing.

Mixtapes wearing down
The person you are addressing may have played the mixtapes you made for them so many times that they are wearing out.

Crystal ships are sailing out
The crystal ships may be a metaphor for the memories you shared with the person you're addressing, and now they're moving on.

Now the doors are opening for you
New opportunities and adventures are presenting themselves to the person you're addressing.

I wanna swim, swim out into the dark night
You want to take the plunge and explore the unknown, possibly with the person you're addressing.

I wanna melt you down into the stars
You want to connect with the person you're addressing on a deep level and become one with them.

I wanna crumble, tumble like a landslide
You are willing to let your guard down and be vulnerable with the person you're addressing.

I wanna live, die wherever you are
You want to be with the person you're addressing no matter what, even if it means sacrificing parts of yourself.

Lovesick melody, carry my words across the sea
Your longing is carried through your music towards the person you're addressing who might be far away or unreachable.

Tell her I miss her, tell her I'm torn in two
You'd like your sentiments conveyed to the person you're addressing that you really miss them and this seperation or whatever that caused this distance is causing you emotional pain.

Salt burns in my eyes, none of these streets feel right tonight
You're expressing that everything feels wrong, and the idea that the person you're addressing isn't nearby is acutely felt.

I'll be your Robin, you'll be my baby blue
Together you might be stronger and symbiotic towards helping each other overcome issues or problems, with you guiding and protecting the person you're addressing.

Well, I know they said I'm bad news
Some of the people in the life of the person you're addressing may have formed a negative opinion about you.

That I wouldn't treat you right
There might be some people or hints that your capable of causing pain or not treating the person you're addressing as they deserve or need.

Got no money in my pocket
You don't have anything of material value to offer the person you're addressing.

Guess I have to hitch a ride
You're willing to take big or small risks, to create a chance to be with the person you're addressing.

I would flag down any motorist
You'd be willing to put yourself in a vulnerable position and potentially rely on strangers to get to where the person you're addressing is.

I'd run the whole M5
You're willing to go the distance and make an effort to see the person you're addressing.

For you and I, you and I, you and I
You want to be together with the person you're addressing, and you both are united in this desire.

Just you and I, I, I, I, I (just you and I)
The idea of being with the person you're addressing, and no one else matters the most to you.

Just you and I, I, I, I, I (just you and I)
You reiterate that the only two people that matter in this equation are yourselves.

Just you and I, I, I, I (just you and I)
Being with the person you're addressing is the only goal you have right now.

Just you and I, just you and I, I
The person you're addressing and you can conquer anything together.
