[Verse 1]
You say I spend too much time
In my head and it holds me back
I think you spend too much time
Givin' me second chances that
I don't deserve
And it hurts

[Chorus]
You give me the kinda love that I never had
Wish that I could love, love, love you back
Wish that I could love, love, love you back
Wish that I could love like that
You give me your unconditional
Don't mean to sound so typical
But I wish that I could love, love, love you back
Wish that I could love like that, mmm
Wish that I could love like

[Verse 2]
You, that weekend, we were sleeping
In that London hotel room
Heard you singing in the shower
Damn near broke my heart in two
And I don't deserve you
And it hurts to

[Chorus]
Get the kinda love that you never had
Wish that you could give, give, give it back
Wish that I could love, love, love you back
Wish that I could love like that
You give me your unconditional
Don't mean to sound so typical
But I wish that I could love, love, love you back
Wish that I could love like that
Ah-ooh, wish that I could love like that

[Bridge]
But look at us, we're in a room half-crowded
And I wish that I could finish what we started
But I don't know how

[Chorus]
To give the kinda love that you deserve
Knowing that I can't just makes it worse
Wish that I could love, love, love you back
Wish that I could love like that
You give me your unconditional
Don't mean to sound so typical
But I wish that I could love, love, love you back
Wish that I could love like that

[Outro]
You are perfect
Wish that I could
You are perfect
Wish that I could

With an affection for electronic and R&B sounds, infused with his soulful bedroom vocals and airy beats, Ari Staprans Leff, known professionally as Lauv, has burst onto the music scene with his intimate take on romantic pop.

Lauv’s musical beginnings started in childhood, learning strings as well as playing piano, but neither captivated his interest. However, his connection with music grew when he picked up a guitar at the age of 11. From there, Lauv became obsessed with expressing himself musically, which channeled into an interest in songwriting.

Eventually he made his way to New York University (NYU) in 2012, and entered the prestigious Music Technology Program there, having expanded his music interests into jazz and electronic music production in high school to add to his diversified portfolio.
