You And I (Guitar Version) Lyrics

Ah this and that said
I come down the stairs
And I was by your eyes, and you were there.
found you in the morning capsized
alone, oh wonderful midnight
a blonde angel for my heart to belong to

Oh You and I
You and I, you and I, you and I, you and I
All for you and I

Especially in the magnesium
I asked her for a cure from stress with a stranger
She asked me, Did I hurt you just then
I said, No but you're hurting me now.
and the light turned on
And the rains turned her on

oh you and I
all for you and I, you and I, you and I
All for you and I, you and I, you and I
All for you

The light turned off my baby's tears
the door snapped slammed
spend the day by the water remembering
how you left her
with your hands in your pockets as you faced me
dark communication so light
this garden of lights
as you and I
are mistaken from the starlight
I need you, reach you
will you reach inside of me
There's a power moving me to stay
I won't spend another day
Without you and I
you and I, you and I,
oh you and I
all for you

Lover, You Should've Come Over

Last Goodbye

Morning Theft

Ah this and that said
I come down the stairs
And I was by your eyes, and you were there.
found you in the morning capsized
alone, oh wonderful midnight 
a blonde angel for my heart to belong to

Oh You and I
You and I, you and I, you and I, you and I
All for you and I

oh you and I 
all for you and I, you and I, you and I
All for you and I, you and I, you and I
All for you

The light turned off my baby's tears 
the door snapped slammed
spend the day by the water remembering
how you left her 
with your hands in your pockets as you faced me
dark communication so light
this garden of lights 
as you and I
are mistaken from the starlight 
I need you, reach you 
will you reach inside of me
There's a power moving me to stay
I won't spend another day
Without you and I 
you and I, you and I,
oh you and I
all for you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Thank you. I only wish I could download it for myself.

Gosh. When it gets to the "The light turned off..." bit it just gives me such an indescribable power within. The guitar is just magical in that section. How does Jeff do that to a person?

The Only Song I think I'll love more than this Demo, is that BLOODY Unheard but OFT-Discussed.

"Sky Blue Skin".

WHERE IS IT? I Hope I live Long Enough To Hear IT.

MG has it!!! But won't give it because there's no recording approaching polishedness!

I would quite literally kill to hear it once.
