I AND YOU

Bittersweet travels

But this road leads back to you

See my past unravel

And lose its potency too

It's my present that's the present

So wrapped up in all this change

This is better than I'd hoped for

This is Life begun again

But for the first time ever

I get love reciprocated

I knew things could be better

But I was feeling antiquated

Like my time had come and gone

And I just never got to dance

In the chorus I was lost

To the ways of true romance

I often felt a failure

Like I was lacking the capacity

To give love to another

And then have them give it back to me

Like I was all a bother

And would hit the bottom endlessly

Never share life with another

Who could more or less connect with me

So I just trifled on

Gave my best each every time

But figured half would be enough

For me to get along just fine

I just gave the love I wanted

Knowing I'd not get it back

Tried to satisfy the Romantic

And not get caught up in the lack

But that changed in just an hour

Changed forever in a day

Now I have the love I wanted

That no one can take away

See you looking right back at me

See you giving thanks then too

I'm so in love I can't believe it

And all it took was I and You
