You and I
We should take the road less travelled
We should take the road less travelled
And we'll die
We'll die
You and I
You and I
We should always feel empowered
And we'll die
We'll die
And when you're feeling low
Weren't feeling sure
We all know what it's like to be left behind
Yeah yeah yeah, oh
Yeah yeah yeah, oh

Line by Line Meaning
You and I
The two of us
We should take the road less travelled
We should try something new and unconventional
And we'll die
There will be risks involved in doing so
We should always feel empowered
We should have confidence in ourselves
And when you're feeling low
When you're feeling down or depressed
Weren't feeling sure
When you lack confidence or don't know what to do
We all know what it's like to be left behind
We all understand what it's like to feel abandoned or forgotten
