Clare commented on the symbolic nature of the song:
this song, I kind of wrote in an angry phase. And I wanted to write a song that people, who aren’t feeling to happy with a certain person in their life, can relate to. And it’s sort of like a power thing like, ‘I feel powerful in this situation, i...
[Verse 1]
You and I
Felt so good to begin with, didn't we?
Well, now it seems
There's far too many adverts in between
[Pre-Chorus]
And we don't speak
So we're left in constant silence
And it's haunting me
So I'm ready now to fight this
[Chorus]
You have the shield, I'll take the sword
I no longer love you, no longer love you
I'm not afraid of danger in the dark
I no longer love you, no longer love you
[Verse 2]
You and I
Aren't working, burning on the bridges now
We're trapped inside
Screaming, "Won't somebody get me out?"
[Chorus]
You have the shield, I'll take the sword
I no longer love you, no longer love you
I'm not afraid of danger in the dark
I no longer love you, no longer love you
[Post-Chorus]
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I no longer love you, no longer love you
No longer love you, no longer love you
[Pre-Chorus]
And we don't speak
So we're left in constant silence
And it's haunting me
So I'm ready now to fight this
[Chorus]
You have the shield, I'll take the sword
I no longer love you, no longer love you
I'm not afraid of danger in the dark
I no longer love you, no longer love you
You have the shield, I'll take the sword
I no longer love you, no longer love you
I'm not afraid of danger in the dark
I no longer love you, no longer love you
[Outro]
You and I
Felt so good to begin with, didn't we?
But now it seems
These shields and swords are haunting me
