You and I
Lyrics and music by Matt Scharpf
The streetlights and I were already lit
On the same old road with the same old misfits
Wasn’t planning on anything
You had to outshoot me but in my defeat
As a true northside fan I couldn’t help but believe
Things will be different next spring
That night turned to days, times filled with laughs,
Hot dogs at Wrigley with my better half,
Lighting fireworks up north.
Getting lost all the time has landed us here
Past beer pong and coin banks to this happy frontier
It’s with you I can’t wait to explore.
Because all I ever had was somewhere to rush to,
Motions to go through
You always bring me back to the place that is so true,
To the one that I vow to: I do
You caught Friar Fever and a Ramirez foul ball,
A photo in the press and like a rolling snowball
We were well on the way
Then misfortune struck hard, we held fast through the pain.
In all our suffering we grew strong from the strain
Now we prize every day.
Because all I ever had was somewhere to rush to,
Motions to go through
You always bring me back to the place that is so true,
To the one that I vow to: I do
So many moments and so many miles
only pale to walking up the aisle
To more than a place or a touch of a hand
but to something I’ve just begun to understand
That is you and I.
Because all I ever had was somewhere to rush to,
Motions to go through
You always bring me back to the place that is so true,
To the one that I vow to: I do
