Cavetown described “It’s U” on his bandcamp:
I wrote this a long time ago about someone I cared way too strongly about. It was tearing me apart how much I loved them but I couldn’t let myself admit that was the reason I was feeling so awful. I’d let them trample all over me, give up sleep to talk t...
[Verse 1]
I guess it's just another one of those nights
When I'll spend way too much time
On something so small that no one really cares about at all
I guess it's just another one of those thoughts
And I can't really find a cause
Whether it's all just in my mind or something more here in my life
[Chorus]
It's you, it's you
Oh god, it's you
It's you
If you're awake then I am too
If you're lost then I'll find you
If you're hurt then I'll fix you
If you go blind I'll describe the view
If you can't feel then I'll hold you
If you fall know I've got you
[Bridge]
If you fall down too far and I can't see you through these marks
And your eyes are covered in scars, and my head's filling with tar
Don't worry we'll find another way out
[Verse 2]
Your silhouette doesn't look quite right
And I can never find the time
To bury my hands in words
I'd grow a new kind of evergreen tree, just for you and me
On second thoughts, will you even remember me?
[Chorus]
But it's always been you (It's always been you)
It's always been you (It's always been you)
It's always been you (It's always been you)
It's always been you (It's always been you)
It's always been you (It's always been you)
It's always been you
Is it me for you?
