Interpretation of Lady Gaga's song "You and I"

Background

Lady Gaga had an on-and-off, on-and-off again relationship with Luc Carl, who owns a bar, and is a bartender in Nebraska. They've been together for six years until Lady Gaga got her break to be this ultimate pop star, and she had to let him go.

Lady Gaga wrote this song because of a dare. Someone dared her to write a hit song in ten minutes. And so she did.

Summary

This song is about leaving someone for something more special and when you've gone so far, you realize how you have been with the most important thing in the world and so you turn back. You turn back to the one you left, hoping and wishing there's still something to return to/ to welcome you back. The song is really open-ended, it really doesn't say if they got back together. But It says in the end that there's "something about just knowing when it's right". It somehow entails how you know you two are for each other, and you may not be together now, one day you will be together, Because you know that what you have is right.
