You & I Lyrics

Lyrics

You & I

From Hummingbird2013

Written by Kelcey Ayer, Matt Frazier, Ryan Hahn, Taylor Rice

Produced by Aaron Dessner, Local Natives

Lyrics

You & I

You and I, we were always strong It was enough to keep me on Believe me And I woke up with my green eyes blue And all I think about is you And it feels When did your love, when did your love go cold? The closer I get, the farther I have to go To places we don't know To places we don't know To places we don't know To places we don't know In all this light, all I feel is dark Had the sun without it's warmth I'm freezing (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh) (Ooh) When did your love, when did your love go cold? The closer I get, the farther I have to go To places we don't know To places we don't know To places we don't know To places we don't know
