Lyrics & Translation

[English]

This is, uh

Based on some music that I heard in a dream

That I saw in a dream

Called, it's going to be called you and I

Ouch!

Cause it's what the people in the dream were saying

You and I, you and I, you and I

All for you

It's like that, I heard the people singing that in a dream

Yeah, and it was a dream where I was in an auditorium at a college

And everybody was congregated and singing the same words

And there was this y'know a bunch of

This band on stage and they were like

Kinda spacey Deadhead band

With teen- y'know like

Guys in their twenties

Like a bunch of grunge guys but kinda playing

This, this other thing

Not like what I'm playing here on guitar

And the people kept on beating out rhythms on drumsticks

This really great rhythm

And what it was, it was a song

I dreamed that this song was about uh, about this guy uh

Or y'know, the person in the song

Is singing to his lover

Supposedly

That uh, he's completely theirs

The lover has forbidden anybody to have contact with him

The lover has taken away his freedom

Taken away his days and nights

Taken away his, y'know his dreams

Uh, sent away his friends

Forbidden him to, y'know

Get close to his parents, all that stuff

And what it was, it was an AIDS rally

And that song was about AIDS

Or about something like that

So every time the refrain came around

The people would say

You and I, you and I, you and I

And they point to the sign that said, y'know, like

It said AIDS with a circle with a slash through it

And they go

"All for you"

They go like, point to the sign

So that was the dream, I woke up with it

Okay?

Anyway, as long as you got that on tape

I'll remember that
