YOU & I Lyrics

[Verse 1: Anne-Marie]
These days you've been so quiet
But you pretend that you're alright
You don't have to say you're sorry
I can see it in your eyes

[Pre-Chorus: Anne-Marie]
Put your PJ's on, switch off your phone
And we'll watch ten movies in a row
The dark days are better when we're together
I hope you know you're not alone

[Chorus: Anne-Marie]
So why don't we stay here?
Hold on to each other
Underneath these covers
Together, you and I
Yeah, why don't we lay herе?
Not get up 'till Monday
We can be strong onе day, but not tonight
I can see those dark clouds over the both of us
But I know how to make you smile
So why don't we stay here?
Hold on to each other
Underneath these covers
Together you and I
Together you and I
[Post-Chorus: KAMILLE]
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da

[Verse 2: Khalid]
And for a moment
I see my life flash before me
Just another side of story we never write
But we're not broken (Not broken)
We may be a little weary
I beg to have you near me for tonight

[Pre-Chorus: Anne-Marie, Both]
Let's put our PJ's on, switch off our phones
And we'll watch ten movies in a row
The dark days are better when we're together
And now I know I'm not alone

[Chorus: Anne-Marie & Khalid, Anne-Marie]
So why don't we stay here?
Hold on to each other
Underneath these covers
Together, you and I
Yeah, why don't we lay here?
Not get up 'till Monday
We can be strong one day, but not tonight
I can see those dark clouds over the both of us
But I know how to make you smile
So why don't we stay here?
Hold on to each other
Underneath these covers
Together you and I
Together you and I
[Post-Chorus: KAMILLE, Both, Khalid]
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da
Together you and I
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da (Ah)
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da (Ah)
Da-da-da, da-da-da-da-da (Ah)

[Chorus: Anne-Marie, Both]
So why don't we stay here?
Hold on to each other
Underneath these covers
Together, you and I
Yeah, why don't we lay here?
Not get up 'till Monday
We can be strong one day, but not tonight

What did Anne-Marie say about "YOU & I"?
Genius Answer

I wrote ‘YOU & I’ [featuring Khalid] to show people where I am in the relationship now. And I needed it to be the end of the album, because I didn’t want people to think I was actually nuts! It’s just a really beautiful song, and I’m so glad that Khalid did it as well, because his voice just fit perfectly. When I listen to that song, it makes me emotional. Because I don’t think I ever thought that I would find love like it. When you find that person, nothing else matters. Everything is OK and every element of life is easier.
