[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
Burning 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
I like me better when
I like me better when I'm with you
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 feeling
Waking 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 something...

Damn…

[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 noooooo)
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
I like me better when
I like me better when I'm with you
(I like me, I like me)
(I like me, I like me)
I like me better when
I like me better when I'm with you

[Bridge]
Stay awhile, stay awhile
Stay here with me
(I like me, I like me)
Stay awhile, stay awhile, oh
(I like me, I like me)
Stay awhile, stay awhile
Stay here with me
Lay here with me

[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 noooooo)
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

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.
