Story of You and Me (Acoustic) - Sam Riggs

I like your mother I like your brother I like you And you like me, too We'll get a preacher I'll buy a ring We'll hire a band With an accordion A violin And a tenor who can sing You and me you and me, baby You and me you and me you and me, baby You and me you and me you and me, baby You and me you and me you and me, baby We'll have a kid Or maybe we'll rent one He's got to be straight We don't want a bent one He'll drink his baby brew From a big brass cup Someday he may be President If things loosen up You and me you and me, baby You and me you and me you and me, baby You and me you and me you and me, baby You and me you and me you and me, baby I'll take the train into the city Ev'ry mornin' You may be plain - I think you're pretty In the mornin' And some nights we'll go out dancin' If I am not too tired Some nights we'll sit romancin' Watching the Late Show by the fire When our kids are grown With kids of their own They'll send us away To a little home in Florida We'll play checkers all day Until we pass away

You and me were always with each other Before we knew the other was ever there You and me, we belong together Just like a breath needs the air I told you if you called I would come runnin' Across the highs the lows and the in-between You and me, we've got two minds that think as one And our hearts march to the same beat They say everything, it happens for a reason You can be flawed enough but perfect for a person Someone who will be there for you when you fall apart Guiding your direction when you're riding through the dark Oh, that's you and me You and me, we're searching for the same light Desperate for a cure to this disease Well, some days are better than others But I fear no thing as long as you're with me They say everything, it happens for a reason You can be flawed enough but perfect for a person Someone who will be there for you when you fall apart Guiding your direction when you're riding through the dark And they say everything, it happens for a reason You can be flawed enough but perfect for a person Someone who will be there when you start to fall apart Guiding your direction when you're riding through the dark Oh, that's you and me Oh, that's you and me Oh, that's you and me That's you and me That's you and me

Girl, your hand brushin' mine Shouldn't be no big deal But when it does I can't deny How it makes my heart feel You've got my imagination Runnin' like a freight train On a downhill track Straight into the deep end Of a feelin' and I know that It ain't comin' back I've been thinkin' of you An' how it'd feel to brush Your hair back from your eyes And kissin' you Kiss you way over that line To find out how good it could be I've been thinkin' of you And me Now I don't want to go and Make things complicated And keepin' you as my best friend Would be okay but What if everything we ever wanted Was a whisper and a touch away I'd rather risk it knowin' Oh then be a fool forever Oh, and never say I've been thinkin' of you And how it'd feel to brush Your hair back from your eyes And kissin' you Kiss you way over that line To find out how good it could be I've been thinkin' of you And me Oh I've been thinkin' of you And how it'd feel to brush Your hair back from your eyes And kissin' you Kiss you way over that line To find out how good it could be I've been thinkin' of you And me Yeah, eh Thinkin' of you

Talking to the footpath Concrete cold Dialogue that don't last Repeating nothing at all I'm all out of updates When I'm tired and mad You're just out of touch, babe So won't you give me a chance? Don't call up I know we said too much The combination of me and you Waiting to separate in two And if you lose your poise Yelling into the void I'll have to leave you there on the floor Trying to rearrange it all Floating out of elsewhere Eyes on you I believe in suffering You could believe in it too Killer conversations Where you leave me out back Hanging off the railing Because I'm ready to crash Don't call up I know we said too much The combination of me and you Waiting to separate in two And if you lose your poise Yelling into the void I'll have to leave you there on the floor Trying to rearrange it all You're not the person I took for granted I feel remorseful, when I see you And even caution can feel obnoxious If you don't give a damn Don't call up I know we said too much The combination of me and you Waiting to separate in two And if you lose your poise Yelling into the void I'll have to leave you there on the floor Trying to rearrange it all

I've been down Wandering past second street And looking at the ghosts of you and me And thinking back on all of those memories Of how we used to be I've been hearing I hear those voices over the noises of the breaking glass And all those plans we had to get us through They're never coming true And I hope and hope That you won't forget And I'm hoping, hope you know that I can clearly see The ghosts of you and me And I'm just a moved on memory And you're still alive And I'm still getting by On these dead end streets The ghosts of you and me I'm still talking I talk of what we'll do to the ghosts of me and you And I'm still looking back into the past When we were all we had And I hope and hope That you won't forget And I'm hoping, hope you know that I can clearly see The ghosts of you and me And I'm just a moved on memory And you're still alive And I'm still getting by On these dead end streets The ghosts of you and me The ghosts of you and me The ghosts of you and me Hope you won't forget Hope you know that I'll always regret those things I said Hope you know that I can clearly see The ghosts of you and me 'Cause I'm just a moved on memory And you're still alive And I'm still getting by On these dead end streets The ghosts of you and me The ghosts of you and me The ghosts of you and me The ghosts of you and me
