It’s not all that often that I find a song that makes me spend 20 minutes searching Google for the artist. One of those where you hear it in the background of a movie and HAVE to know it word by word. Well, I found one.
“I and Love and You” by the Avett Brothers.
Load the car and write the note
Grab your bag and grab your coat
Tell the ones that need to know
We are headed northOne foot in and one foot back
But it don’t pay, to live like that
So i cut the ties and i jumped the tracks
For never to returnAh Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
Are you aware the shape I’m in
My hands they shake my head it spins
Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me inWhen at first I learned to speak
I used all my words to fight
With him and her and you and me
Oh but its just a waste of time
Yeah its such a waste of timeThat woman shes got eyes that shine
Like a pair of stolen polished dimes
She asked to dance I said it’s fine
I’ll see you in the morning timeAh Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
Are you aware the shape im in
My hands they shake my head it spins
Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me inThree words that became hard to say
I and love and you
What you were then, I am today
Look at the things I doAh Brooklyn Brooklyn take me in
Are you aware the shape I’m in
My hands they shake my head it spins
Ah Brooklyn Brooklyn take me inDumbed down and numbed by time and age
Your dreams to catch the world, the cage
The highway sets the travelers stage
All exits look the same
Three words that became hard to say
I and love and you
I and love and you
I and love and you
