"You and I" is an homage to childhood memory. It is about the past but carries a sentiment very grounded in the present and what shape the future could take. I tried writing about some of the stories that informed me as an adolescent but by the time I had written about two, the song was already too long. It carries much more than the words I could put into it. It is about the dreams we had. The lives we lived. It holds secrets. Good songs hold secrets. This song was supposed to be on 'Arms of a Dream' but never found its place. I have had more messages asking about this song than any other we play, so it is exciting to finally release it.

LYRICS:
Do you remember when we were old and innocent
And all the words we used to have, they were brave and beautiful friends
All of those lucky stars, all of those silver dreams
It was a coming of age, a passing of time
It was my mind being made
I don’t know how this whole thing started
But you and I, you and I are going to be alright
Do you remember when we stole a car and drove to buy some cigarettes
I made you laugh and we crashed into a minivan
As soon as we had the chance to run, we ran
Do you remember when we were running from the cops and they were chasing us
I was so scared I could hardly climb that fence
So we hid inside your parents house til they left
I don’t know how this whole thing started
But you and I, you and I are going to be alright
Mother. Father. Brother. Sister. Everything is going to be alright
I don’t know how this whole thing started
But you and I, you and I are going to be alright
