Chaz entails how modern technology is abused for the sole purpose of hooking up and brings exhaustion and serious self-examination, how fame has altered his life, and how the most minute details of a summer love can create an impact that lasts forever. The beat and the chorus parallel the narrative...
Girl Like You Lyrics
[Chorus]
But what's it gonna take for a guy like me to find a girl like you?
What I gotta do to find a girl whose loving is more than true?
No one can play the game alone, even if you try to
Baby, I'm yours now
Dreaming a connection
I can meet you downtown
I'll take you where you wanna be tonight
[Verse]
Too much looking around
I can see how this happens
Using up all the lifelines
Tryna turn out decent
You've got plenty of time
I can see you walked over
What you see isn't in my mind
Don't believe we've met before
I'm acting, playing quiet, smiling, without thought
'Cause my world's been turned inside out
Been gone quite a while
[Chorus]
But what's it gonna take for a guy like me to find a girl like you?
What I gotta do to find a girl whose loving is more than true?
No one can play the game alone, even if you try to
Baby, I'm yours now
Dreaming a connection
I can meet you downtown
I'll take you where you wanna be tonight
[Bridge]
Aren't you gonna stay?
Keep me 'til the sun comes up
Crack a Pellegrino
From the bottle, no cup
That was summer love, that was summer love
Late night, cemetery
Think it's still light out
Temporary love at sight now
Love is scary, baby, look out
[Chorus]
But what's it gonna take for a guy like me to find a girl like you?
What I gotta do to find a girl whose loving is more than true?
No one can play the game alone, even if you try to
Baby, I'm yours now
Dreaming a connection
I can meet you downtown
I'll take you where you wanna be tonight

What was the inspiration for this song?
It started with the drum machine. I made the drum beat on a Korg Volca Beat. Once the beat was actually made, then the lyrics are usually last. But that feeling of hearing the song for the first time, that’s probably when I do the first take of scratch vocals. I’m just saying whatever’s on my mind,...
What is Chaz's songwriting process like?
It’s different for each song. For this song in particular, though, I sat down and tried to make sort of a puzzle out of the lyrics, not only with rhymes. I guess it’s similar to what people rapping can do, but I have to type it out. Just finding all the little double entendres and stuff. I like to r...
Is this song about a particular person?
Not necessarily. But I like songs about girls. It’s just relatable. And not only that, it’s a pop song. I wanted to make a pop song that was very approachable and relatable. Talking about a girl and a boy is very broad. Kind of on purpose. It’s kind of a nice thing to hear in a song.
