“Youuu” is the sixth single from COIN’s third album, Dreamland.
The band initially teased the song in September of 2017, stating in a Facebook Livestream that they were in Las Vegas working on a song titled “Always Been You.” In December of the same year, lead singer Chase Lawrence tweeted the song...
[Verse 1]
I know your heart
And I know your downfall
Though we fell apart
It was no one's fault
I've gotta make you remember
How hard it was to let me go
Slow dancing with a stranger
But I found somebody new
[Pre-Chorus]
She moves just like you
And she tastes just like you
[Chorus]
But it's always been you
Oh, it's always been you
Yeah, it's always been you
Oh, it's always been you
[Verse 2]
Back when we started
I was a fighter
I kept my guard up
But I took it down for you
Oh, what a thing to do
What do you tell your friends?
The ones I'll never see again
What are you filling in their heads?
I found another ex
Some temporary settlement
To kiss the heartbreak off my lips
[Pre-Chorus]
She moves just like you
And she tastes like you
[Chorus]
But it's always been you
Oh, it's always been you
Oh, it's always been you
Yeah, it's always been you
Oh, it's always been you
Oh, it's always been you
[Bridge]
Don't let go if you love me
Don't move on, don't move on
Don't let go if you love me
Don't move on, don't move on
[Outro]
Don't move on, don't move on
Don't move on, don't move on

That song came out of a really dark trip to Los Angeles, it was the four of us. It was Zach, Joe, Ryan and I and we all went to LA to play this festival. Joe broke his ankle, it was really traumatic. He had to play a show with a broken ankle and the show was just chaotic and there were wildfires so...
