“Don’t go out there we’ve got all we need right here,” she said.
“The grass may look greener through your young eyes, but that’s just the devil in your head.”
I set out to prove her right when I set sail on that one night
At dawn I threw the anchor port side, then I turned back and saw no light
I tried going home, but it wasn’t the same
Stranded in between the life that I knew and the man that I became
I did my best to stay the course, until the day I saw the shore
No sooner than I made port, The silence sunk in and I longed for more
When night fell on me, I sought solace in my sleep
Where I was captain of a vessel destined to sink
I venture to the coast from time to time, and call out your name.
and listen close as my voice gets pulled out to sea,
before the tide brings it right back to me
It’s easier for me to believe you’re lost at sea
than to believe you’re there, not listening to me

A darker and more expansive album for an already dark and expansive band. You & I is the aural equivalent of moving through the depths of an empty forest at midnight thrownofan
In context of how there is a named syndrome about how difficult second albums are, could this be the only second album where all tracks are better than any on the first full-length? davekillcountysmith
