[Verse 1]
To be young and in love in New York City
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
Midnight into morning coffee, burnin' through the hours talking
Damn
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
I don't know what it is but I got that feelin'
Wakin' up in this bed next to you swear the room, yeah, it 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'
Damn
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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, ooh
[Chorus]
I like me better when I'm with you (Yes, I do, yes, I do, babe)
I like me better when I'm with you (Oooh no)
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
[Outro]
(I like me, I like me)
(Look who you made me, made me, oh no)
Better when
I like me better when I'm with you

I wrote the song when I moved to L.A., but it’s originally about when I moved to New York. I was 18. I moved here for school and was trying to figure out who I was and who I wanted to be. I fell in love for the first time. It’s that feeling of, “Everything else is crazy in my life and I don’t really...
This was probably the fastest song I’ve ever written so far. I didn’t have any lyrics written down, no concept, no title, nothing. I was just playing chords. And the chorus just started coming to me, and I got this ‘90s drum break and started chopping that up and fucking with that. And then I got th...

Hate the song, I just made it up on the spot though.
