I Still Love You
Banks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sure, I know I haven't been around
I've been away way too long
I don't know your bruises
Or where you've been lately
But I know I still love you

I don't know where you go on Friday nights
I don't know your current favorite song
But I know that how I drive
It drives you crazy
And I know I still love you

I still love you
I still want you
Get to know me once more, baby
With all your issues, I still miss you
Haven't met anyone like you, baby

I don't know where you see yourself in twenty years
I don't know if you still smoke weed
You probably do
But I know that all my cussing drives you crazy
And I know I still love you

I still love you
I still want you
Get to know me once more, baby
With all your issues, I still miss you
Haven't met anyone like you, baby

I still love you
I still want you
Get to know me once more, baby




With all your issues, I still miss you
Haven't met anyone like you, baby (haha)

Rather than thinking about an ex, I'm gonna think about my future self when listening to this song. <3

@danielleteixeiramatt

YES

@gieroslaww

deffo yes

@hidayahmeep7625

I think it's about someone she's currently with and it's not about her ex. She's been tagging her guy in her posts about her music so in my opinion it could be about loving through the rough patches which makes it even better <3

@ellen18sak69

@@hidayahmeep7625 didn't she write it back in 2015 though?

@star0nyx
