about

I hooked up with a guy who wrote music reviews. he had recently written about the song "The Beer" by The Front Bottoms. He pointed out the lyrics "I remember that summer as the summer I was taking steroids, because you like a man with muscles, and I like you." I started listening to the song obsessively and I I really liked the simplicity of the lyric "I like you." Putting my own spin on it, I came up with "but I like you" as an essential line in the chorus.
Having a crush on him, I thought if I wrote a song about him I could get his attention. So "But I Like You" was born.

lyrics

I like how you look like you don't sleep
I know you like girls that are trainwrecks
let me tell you, I totally vibe with that
when I self destruct, join me on my war path
you don't like kisses on your neck
is it my intimacy you reject?

I don't know you well enough to like you but I like you
I don't know you well enough to like you but I like you
Oh fuck, now I fucked you, and I fucked it up

you saw me standing there in white socks
I failed you, but I totally brushed it off
sucking on a USB, talking 'bout equality
in your skinny body, totally seducing me
I don't wanna be insane, but I want you in me again
so if you're feeling lonely you can come and bone me

I don't know you well enough to like you but I like you
I don't know you well enough to like you but I like you
Oh fuck, now I fucked you, and I fucked it up

Our banter is all that I crave
both of us are hung up on somebody, so it could be a mistake
but misery loves company, so you should just hold hands with me
We shouldn't be alone or give in to our apathy
I think you should take me out, I think you should do it soon
I'm not just an open book, I'm an open wound

I don't know you well enough to like you but I like you
I don't know you well enough to like you but I like you
Oh fuck, now I fucked you, and I fucked it up

I don't know you well enough to like you but I like you
I don't know you well enough to like you but I like you
Oh fuck, now I fucked you, and I fucked it up
