Interpretation
The song 'You and I' by
Scorpions is a romantic ballad that talks about deep feelings and love. The singer loses control when he sees his beloved person and feels a strong attraction, as stated in the lyrics 'I lose control because of you babe'. He sees something in her eyes that tells him that this night will be special.
The lyrics 'I'm not a child anymore, Life has opened the door' mean that he is mature for this new exciting phase of his life, probably a deeper or first real love. He is curious for more and for what life will bring him.
The chorus 'You and I just have a dream, To find our love a place, Where we can hide away' refers to the singer and his love's shared dream of finding a place where they can live their love and hide. This could metaphorically speak of longing for a world where only the two of them exist and can freely live their love.
The line 'It's all written down in your lifelines, It's written down inside your heart' suggests that everything that happens could be predetermined or that the love they share is deeply rooted in their hearts.
The lines 'Time stands still, When days of innocence, Are falling for the night' could be a metaphor for time standing still when they are together and the innocence of the day giving way to the darkness of the night.
Finally, the singer emphasizes with 'I love you girl, I always will, I swear I'm there for you, Till the day I die' his eternal love and loyalty towards his beloved. He promises to always be there for her until the day he dies.
