You & I
Johnnyswim Lyrics

The lyrics to Johnnyswim's song "You and I" seemingly describe a relationship that is both intense and unpredictable, yet ultimately rewarding. The opening lines of "we found love in a stormy sky," suggest that despite the challenges and potential danger, the two protagonists of the song have found something special in each other. The following line "never needed no reason why," emphasizes that their attraction is not logical or rational, but rather based on a deep connection that defies explanation. The next line "danger always was a friend of mine," implies that the two characters are comfortable with the risks involved in their relationship and are willing to accept them for the sake of being together.

The chorus of the song then compares the two lovers to opposing elemental forces, fire and water, rain and thunder, and waves on the ocean. These images suggest that their relationship is both passionate and tumultuous, yet also dynamic and constantly in motion. The repeated refrain of "you and I" emphasizes the central role that the two lovers play in each other's lives and the sense of unity and symbiosis that they share.

The second verse of the song continues this theme of opposites attracting, as the singer asks their partner to show them where to plant seeds, and to take them to their garden. The line "I always said I was a rolling stone, you're tearing down every wall I've known" suggests that the singer was once emotionally guarded and hesitant to commit, but has been won over by their partner's love and loyalty. The repeated chorus once again underscores the importance of the relationship and the unbreakable bond between the two of them.
