You & I
One Direction Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I figured it out from black and white
Seconds and hours
Maybe they had to take some time
I know how it goes
I know how it goes from wrong and right
Silence and sound
Did they ever hold each other tight like us?
You and I
We don't wanna be like them
We can make it 'til the end
Nothing can come between
You and I
Not even the Gods above
Can separate the two of us
No, nothing can come between
You and I
Oh, you and I
I figured it out
Saw the mistakes of up and down
Meet in the middle
There's always room for common ground
I see what it's like
I see what it's like for day and night
Never together
'Cause they see things in a different light like us
But they never tried like us
You and I
We don't wanna be like them
We can make it 'til the end
Nothing can come between
You and I
Not even the Gods above
Can separate the two of us
'Cause you and I
We don't wanna be like them
We can make it 'til the end
Nothing can come between
You and I
Not even the Gods above
Can separate the two of us
No, nothing can come between
You and I, you and I
Oh, you and I
Oh, you and I
We can make it if we try
You and I
Oh, you and I
You and I
The lyrics of One Direction's "You & I" is about two people who have found each other and are determined to make their relationship last, despite the obstacles that may come their way. The singer speaks of figuring out what love truly is and how it works, and having seen the mistakes other people make in relationships, he knows what to avoid.
The opening lines of the song indicate that the singer has gained insights into love from observing it. He has watched how people interact with each other, the different situations that arise, and the decisions that need to be made. The use of black and white, seconds and hours indicate how the singer has broken down love to understand it better, almost like a science.
When he says, "we don't wanna be like them," he is referring to the mistakes other people in relationships make, and how he and his partner are going to be different. They will fight when needed but won't let anything come between them. They are committed to staying together till the end, and even the Gods can't come between them.
The song ends on a positive note with the singer saying that they can make it work if they try. The message of the song is one of hope and togetherness, where two people are committed to each other, despite the challenges life throws at them.
