| Local Natives – You & I Lyrics | 12 years ago |

I think this song is about a once wonderful relationship turned abusive, and the slew of feelings the narrator experiences as a result. "And I woke up/With my green eyes blue" could refer to his/her partner physically injuring them, which also ties in with the next line: "And all I think about is you/and your fist." Just my take at least. I imagine the narrator feels trapped, knowing that they should leave the relationship but wanting to rekindle or save what it once was ("The closer I get/the further I have to go") |

much better. just a couple minor adjustments to it that i heard while listening to it. "At times I’ve shouted out unprovoked at the world and you Just to see if the people around me react Sometimes I think they’re all acting, Sometimes I’m scared I’m acting to lie My movements are stage directions Was that a change in topic or a beat in the scene Have I been taking my emotional cues from the script I wrote at sixteen? Maybe I just think about it all so much, that the fear stays close to all the ghosts I’ve touched, It makes me question was it love or just lust? Caked in blood or old rust? I don’t know Don’t we remember all the moments we remember the best Framed in poems and in pictures Sang aloud in refrains Does this cycle of pain and disdain for the past not work exactly the same? Maybe it’s just as much about what comes our way as it is how we react Just as much about the things that we’ve still got as it is about the things we lack I know we won’t always keep around those we feel we need, Some will fade in frames, some were born to lead But if we’re still here and we still breathe At least we’ve still got time to figure it out. To know what to do, to know how to feel, Know the things that I’ve been making up inside my head And to know what’s real I want to believe that the way I am is just the way it goes For the things that came not the things I chose to come I want to know if I've had any control I want to know if he'd come for me And if my heart just stops, pack my memories in it, I want to know all the love I’ve got And if my heart just stops, keep me alive for a minute, I want to know if a curtain drops" |

| ps. In terms of interpretation/meaning, I think it's pretty clear this song is about a guy who is so completely overwhelmed with feelings of 'love at first sight' for this woman that he becomes an obsessed stalker in the midst of his failed attempts to pursue her. | |

This song has become my new ONrepeat tune. Some corrections I'd like to submit, though: You're always dying inside That much closer to home On a crowded street corner Surrounded by people, all alone Pain in the heart, ran in the dark The wound is glum and bitter She walks around the corner It's like she brought the sun with her I instantly forgot all my plans and started to follow her It's like the sky opened and God handed you directly to me I know it sounds crazy, but so is life, I'm sinking And feeling like your heart is beating solely for me Plague every thought of you while I'm trailing you like your security Feet sticking out of the window of opportunity, climbing through it Chance to speak blown My finger aching for your doorbell Like a random blog Instead I lurk outside in the cold Like an abandoned dog Perish the Your eyes are screaming and they're saying "Oh, baby" to me If there was a way out I think you would've taken it My hands and arms are the only way back you can leave |
