I Like Me Better
Lauv Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To not know who I am, but still know that I'm good long
as you're here with me
To be drunk and in love in New York City (in New York City)
Midnight into morning coffee
Burning through the hours talking
Damn, I like me better when I'm with you
I like me better when I'm with you
I knew from the first time
I'd stay for a long time 'cause
I like me better when
I like me better when I'm with you
I don't what it is, but I got that feeling (got that feeling)
Waking up in this bed next to you
Swear the room, yeah, got no ceiling
If we lay, let the day just pass us by
I might get to too much talking
I might have to tell you somethin'
I like me better when I'm with you
I like me better when I'm with you
I knew from the first time
I'd stay for a long time 'cause
I like me better when
I like me better when I'm with you
Stay awhile, stay awhile
Stay here with me
Stay awhile, stay awhile, oh
Stay awhile, stay awhile
Stay here with me
Lay here with me
Eh-eh, eh-eh, oh
I like me better when I'm with you
I like me better when I'm with you
I knew from the first time
I like me better when I'm with you
