[Verse 1]

Picture me, seventeen

Like a dream that came around

From loving loud to falling out

To calling out back to you now

We were kids, just wanna live

The best damn life that we could think of

Taking turns to try to learn

Before burning out

[Chorus]

When I think of the years gone by

It will always be you and I

I remember you saved my life

So you can take your time

If it all falls down again

You can take my hand

When I think of the years gone by

It will always be you and I

You and I

[Verse 2]

Picture me, twenty-three

Like a hollow shell of myself

From reaching out to screaming out

To freaking out and going through hell

To fucking up and losing touch

But you picked me up when I needed your love

Now I see your time in need

And I give it all back to you

[Chorus]

When I think of the years gone by

It will always be you and I

I remember you saved my life

So you can take your time

If it all falls down again

You can take my hand

When I think of the years gone by

It will always be you and I

You and I

[Bridge]

You and I

You and I

You and I

[Chorus]

When I think of the years gone by

It will always be you and I

I remember you saved my life

So you can take your time

If it all falls down again

You can take my hand

When I think of the years gone by

It will always be you and I

You and I

You and I
