"Love You Like" lyrics

The right words are living on the tip of my tongue
But the oxygen just never seems to reach my lungs
The paper's blank but our story's just begun
Rehearsing love songs in my head but they are still unsung

I'm not a poet, I'm not a writer
My body never learned to show my love that way
But this unheard language, has a broken cypher
A silent voice that calls your name out every day

I want you like (oh)
I need you like (oh)
'Cause you are my (oh)
I love you like (oh)

I'm not a thesaurus, I can't find the turn of phrase
Like a dictionary searching for the right words to say
Before I embarrass myself with what I try to convey
I'm freezing up with feelings left there unexplained

'Cause I'm not a poet, I never was a writer
My body never learned to show my love that way
But this unheard language, has a broken cypher
A silent voice that calls your name out every day

I want you like (oh)
I need you like (oh)
'Cause you are my (oh)
I love you like (oh)

You fracture me
Into an anomaly
My desperation waiting for a chance to break free
A lifetime of "love you's" inside my head
Building worlds out of all of these words I haven't said

So I'll want you like (oh)
And I'll need you like (oh)
'Cause you are my (oh)
I love you like (oh)
