The Tantrums - You and Me lyrics

[Hook: Fitz and The Tantrums] I'm asking you why, oh why can't we be together? Cuz' I really don't understand And you could go cry and cry on forever I really don't understand You and me Met her in a daze we through a**ociations Drunk for a week, we had a broken conversation Left with a kiss and was off in that night But that next night was ours girl, ha, (you and me) Ever since then I can't kick that addiction First few months I overlooked those afflictions Punch drunk love, a drug so intense Memories burn, the memories left me incensed I ask myself, Why, Why, Why, Why can't we be happy Look girl, I really don't understand Can't forget the first night, cab ride home Made love until first light Next to you Cuz' paradise was that bedroom OJ and Tequila like girl I would wed you You above all, love and health I gave you everything and you nearly k**ed myself [Hook: Repeat] Months went by and addiction got worser Lines got crossed, leighways went further Trust digressed and the focus moved to old freaks And all of a sudden, she was getting cold feet I could tell but she wouldn't admit it Caught somewhere in between love and me and her quittin' Tried my hardest to change things that I couldn't see Because all I ever wanted in the end was (you and me) Plus she in school with a new band of friends And that time in between that I knew I couldn't spend Double standards had me going out my mind She was texting her ex and I wasn't texting mine Didn't end till' I walked in that night Dudes hand on her hips, tough to avoid that fight The ride home she slept, and I tried but I couldn't Damn...I swear a piece of me died that night [Hook: Repeat] Took you out to lunch and I was starting to see more I dried those eyes in the car by the seashore Told me to drive while you laid in my lap Made love all day, I laid awake and you napped I thought for sure I had found what I needed You needed me and in turn doubt was defeated I was so happy, ignored questions that lingered Instead I focused on a future and a ring on your finger That was on me because I was still reeling But I was too afraid, to say how I was feeling You held the power for the words I'd never say Because you had threatened to take everything away Couldn't believe it and I couldn't believe you How could you think I was out to deceive you? Worst part is I still think about forever And about why Why can't we be Together...
