Lyrics The Avett Brothers

The Avett Brothers

I and Love and You

Load the car and write the note

grab your bag and grab your coat

tell ones that need to know

we are headed north

all one foot in and one foot back

but its okay, to live like that

so i cut the ties and i jumped the tracks

for never to return

brooklyn brooklyn take me in

are you aware the shape im in

my hands they shake my head it spins

brooklyn brooklyn take me in

when at first i learned to speak

i used all my words to fight

with him and her and you and me

oh its just a waste of time

its such a waste of time

that women shes got eyes that shine

like a pair of stolen polished dimes

she asked to dance i said its fine

ill see you in the morning time

brooklyn brooklyn take me in

are you aware the shape im in

my hands they shake my head it spins

brooklyn brooklyn take me in

three words that became hard to say

i and love and you

what you were then i am today

look at the things i do

brooklyn brooklyn take me in

are you aware the shape im in

my hands they shake my head it spins

brooklyn brooklyn take me in

dumbed down and numbed my time and age

you dreams to catch this 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

the highway
