Songs I Write | IV

Reasons That I Like You

You tell me that I'm special, tell me that I'm rare
I tell you that you're mental, telling me what I wanna hear
You tell me that I'm wrong, tell me that I'm dumb for not being able to see
That all you could want, all you're looking for is just someone who happens to be me

I could say it's in your pretty, green-brown eyes
I could say it's in your hands, the way of your smile
I'd write a list but I know the lack of justice that would do
There are just so many reasons that I like you

Keep telling me I'm special, tell me that I'm rare
I'm fragile and beyond you, the others don't compare
And I see it, I guess, for you, I really did just appear out of thin air
And I remain tangled there, in the curls of your beautiful hair

I could say it's in your pretty, green-brown eyes
I could say it's in your hands, the way of your smile
I'd write a list but I know the lack of justice that would do
There are just so many reasons that I like you
I could say talking to you more than passes the time
I could say I lose focus, risking everything each night
I'd say on the phone but I know that I wouldn't know how to
There are just so many reasons that I like you

So tell me you won't want anybody else, just me alone
Because I know I'm not the only girl here, but I wanna be the only one you're thinking of when you get home
So tell me you won't want anybody else, I'm enough not to lose
Even if it's a lie but I think you might be telling the truth

And I could say the same to you

I could say it's in your pretty, green-brown eyes
I could say it's in your hands, mostly when they're holding mine
I'd write a list but I know the lack of justice that would do
There are just so many reasons that I like you
I could swear walking with you's the most enchanting thing
I couldn't bear to just stop calling when my mum's out and we can say what we mean
I'd tell you when we hug goodbye but I never wanna move that
There are just so many reasons that I like you

So hold my hand a little tighter, baby
I like you
I'm your biggest fan, so drive me crazy
I like you
I'm awkward and I talk too much but
I like you
Just hold my hand and stay forever, darling, 'cause
I like you
I like you
I like you
There are just so many reasons that I like you
