You And I Both

(album: Tonight Not Again: Live At The Eagles Ballroom - 2004)

I sing was it you who spoke the words
That things would happen but not to me
Oh things are gonna happen naturally
Oh I'm taking your advice
And I'm looking on the bright side
And I'm balancing the whole damn thing

Oh but at often times those words
They get tangled up in lines
And the bright light turns to night
Until the dawn, it brings
Another day we'll sing
About the magic that was you and me

'Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And the others just read of
Lover, lover
Others only dream of the love
Of the love that I—I love.

See, I'm all about them words
Over numbers, unencumbered numbered words
Hundreds of pages, pages, pages for words
More words than I had ever heard
And I feel so alive

'Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
And if you could see me now,
Oh love, love
You and I, you and I
Not so little you and I anymore

And with this silence brings a moral story
More importantly evolving is the glory of a boy

'Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
And if you could see me now
Well then I'm almost finally out of
I'm finally out of
I'm finally deedeedeedee
Well I'm almost finally, finally
Well I am free, oh, that's it

And it's okay
If you had to go away
Oh just remember the telephones
Well, they're working in both ways
But if I never ever never never never never never hear them ring

If nothing else
I'll think the bells
Inside have finally found you someone else
And that's okay
'Cause I'll remember everything you sang

'Cause you and I both loved
What you and I spoke of
And others just read of
And if you could see me now
Well then I'm almost finally out of
I'm finally out of, I'm finally, deedeeededede
Well I'm almost finally, finally, well out of words.
