Little You & I Lyrics
you close your eyes
you say goodnight in your own special way
you rest your head and you rest your mind
and there you go
there you go so fast, so fast asleep
there you are without a care when or where
but there you are I swear without a care where it is you lay
spiraling spaces tangled up in moments of touching time
trying to find some somewhere sleeping sideways
pockets full of nothing, head exploding from the mind
too much time for dancing in our hair
sister don't be shy between little you and I
mouths in line, tears beside
and we're gonna weep in between the sleep
until we float away into broken promises
too much too hard to keep
and we would sell our souls to the devil if he promised us hell
it's something we already know so well
and it's right on, right on the tip of our tongue
something big that has already begun
(something dead but not quite numb)
and I'm singing it
mouths in line, tears beside
and we're gonna weep in between the sleep
until we float away into broken promises
too much too hard to keep
you say goodnight in your own special way
you rest your head and you rest your mind
and there you go
there you are without a care when or where
but there you are I swear without a care where it is you lay
trying to find some somewhere sleeping sideways
pockets full of nothing, head exploding from the mind
too much time for dancing in our hair
sister don't be shy between little you and I
and we're gonna weep in between the sleep
until we float away into broken promises
too much too hard to keep
it's something we already know so well
and it's right on, right on the tip of our tongue
something big that has already begun
(something dead but not quite numb)
and I'm singing it
and we're gonna weep in between the sleep
until we float away into broken promises
too much too hard to keep

"Did I kill the song for anyone? I know there's someone like 'This song was for my boyfriend and I and it was about a cat?!' Well, thats why the cat comes into the bedroom while you're listening to this cd. xD
Jason Mraz is such a cool cat.
It's about falling asleep next to someone you love, I think.
Love this song so much it hurts.
on live at java joe's he says "I wrote this song to my cat"
^ haha yeah he says he wrote it for his cat to fall alseep too..and then the "2nd part" is You and I Both and thats for his cat to dream or something like that.
actually, he wrote you and I both for a certain girlfriend, and he made sure that girl knew it was for him by using the word "unincombered" because that was her favorite word...he explains it all on Tonight, Not Again
the "unencumbered" is for "you and i both" that's what he explains on tonight, not again.
It's for his cat! :)
this song is so beautiful, mraz is a true artist
he was making a joke when he said he wrote it for his cat to fall asleep and dream too... but still is a beautiful song:)
