You and Me

You
You and me
We headed west
to try to see what we could see
and now we see, there can never be
a you and me
you and me
Now we see, there can never be
a you and me

Me, I'm on my way
to a place where I can make it through
one entire day without a thought
of what became
of you and me
of you and me
without a thought of what became
of you and me

Someone told me once every journey has
a breakdown along the way
who knew our breakdown would come
so soon

You, you're headin' east
'cause there's nothing left for you here
when there's nothing left of me
and that's the way it has to be
for you and me

someone told me once
everything must die
today I see that's true
can you tell me is that why
the sky's so blue

Me, I'll play this song
and in the words I'll try to find
what the hell did I do wrong
was I naive to believe
in you and me
you and me
Was I naive to believe
in you and me
