One of Wilco’s highest-charting singles to date, featuring a duet between lead singer Jeff Tweedy and Canadian songwriter Leslie Feist.
The song is about two lovers trying to stay together.
[Verse 1: Jeff Tweedy & Feist]
You and I
We might be strangers
However close we get sometimes
It's like we never met
But you and I
I think we can take it
All the good with the bad
Make something that no one else has but
[Refrain: Jeff Tweedy & Feist]
You and I
You and I
[Verse 2: Jeff Tweedy & Feist]
Me and you
What can we do
When the words we use sometimes
Are misconstrued
Well, I won't guess
What's coming next
I can't ever tell you
The deepest well I've ever fallen into
[Bridge: Jeff Tweedy & Feist]
Oh, I don't wanna know
Oh, I don't wanna know
Oh, I don't need to know
Everything about you
Oh, I don't wanna know
And you don't need to know
That much about me
[Verse 5: Jeff Tweedy & Feist]
You and I
We might be strangers
However close we get sometimes
It's like we never met
But you and I
I think we can take it
All the good with the bad
Make something that no one else has but
[Refrain: Jeff Tweedy & Feist]
You and I
You and I
You and I was written by Jeff Tweedy.
