You and I.
Ah, the calm below that poisoned river wild,
You and I.
Tears that dry on a rude awakened child.
Where you look down
I've walked before, burning holes
With eyes of liquid brown.
If we had only known, in a way
We wouldn't reach this ground.
You were my only home, silver eyes.
I want to see you shine.
And we will fell the weight
Fall away from us in time
Searching our past for the true
You and I, you and I, you and I,
All for you.
Where you think you'll fall,
I adore you.
Where you shut your soul,
I will open for you.
If we had only known, in a way
We'd never reach this ground.
I'll know, silver eyes.
I can see us shine.
I said, we will fell the weight
Fall away from us in time
Searching our past for a true
You and I, you and I, you and I,
All for you.
Ah, the calm below that poisoned river wild,
You and I.
Tears that dry on a rude awakened child.
Where you look down
I've walked before, burning holes
With eyes of liquid brown.
If we had only known, in a way
We wouldn't reach this ground.
You were my only home, silver eyes.
I want to see you shine.
And we will fell the weight
Fall away from us in time
Searching our past for the true
You and I, you and I, you and I,
All for you.
Where you think you'll fall,
I adore you.
Where you shut your soul,
I will open for you.
If we had only known, in a way
We'd never reach this ground.
I'll know, silver eyes.
I can see us shine.
I said, we will fell the weight
Fall away from us in time
Searching our past for a true
You and I, you and I, you and I,
All for you.

You and I - found you in the morning capsized
Nightmares - I found her in the morning capsized.
I agree. It seems to imply a kind of serene aftermath of a rough and confusing time for a couple in which they both feel so uncertain and he is trying to comfort her. Beautiful and inspiring.
it really does sound like he's crying or tearing up.
There's something about the way he's pushing out his notes,
it just makes me so sad. Like you really feel his pain.
'the calm below that poisoned river wild'
'we will feel the weight fall away from us in time.'
..its kind of creepy. i mean its probably just coincedense but a part of me is wondering if he was warning everyone of what was going to happen?
I think it's basically about two people in love. It kind of sounds like people have given them a hard time, or they have other issues to think about before they can fully commit to a relationship
"and we will feel the weight. fall away from us in time. searching our past for the true."
Maybe I'm wrong, but that line implies some kind of baggage, or something holding them back. But when they finally get over it, or get rid of it, they can fully be in the relationship.
"ah, the calm below that poisoned river wild, you and i. "
That line kind of makes it sound like the poisoned river wild is the world around them, and their love is trying to exist within it.
