You & I
Idina Menzel & Josh Groban Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

This is an all too familiar scene.

Life imperceptibly coming between.

Those whose love is as strong as it could or should be.

Nothing has altered
Yet everything's changed.

No one stands still

Still I love you completely
And hope I always will.
Each day we get through
Means one less mistake
Left for the making.

And there's no return
As we slowly learn
Of the chances we're taking.

I'd give the world
To stay just as we are
It's better by far
Not to be too wise

Not to realize
Where there's truth
There will be lies.

You and I,
We've seen it all
Been down this road before,
Yet we go on believing.

You

You

And I,
We've seen it all
Chasing our hearts' desire,
Yet I still think I'm certain
This time it will be
My happy ending.





Thank you. It's from Molokov You were right.
She's here, landed from Moscow this morning. Bastard.
