"I Love U" lyrics

You wanna make out in the back of this dirty taxi
You know I get car sick sitting in the backseat
So I just bend my arms back and hold your hand awkwardly
After all these years it's weird you still see something in me

I don't know how to say I love you
All that I know is do the dishes when I get home
I don't know how to say I love you
And that after all this time I'm glad I'm by your side

I dream about you every night but push you off the bed before you wake
You fall to the floor laughing grateful that you got the chance to sleep in late
We've got nowhere to be, and you're in love with me
I feel it in the way you lay down right back next to me

I don't know how to say I love you
But it's time to grab your coat
Cuz I've got tickets to the mountain goats
I don't know how to say I love you
I could stand to learn a thing or two from from John Darnielle

When a problem's this absurd
You've gotta put in the work
When a problem's this absurd
The only thing to do is open up
Our pickled skulls and look inward

I don't know how to be alone, but that's fine
Cause we're social animals and we're far from home
When I'm with you it's hard to feel sad
You fill my heart with major chords
And I guess I'm not so bad so...

I'm gonna learn how to say I love you
I'm gonna learn how to say I love you
I'm gonna learn how to say I love you
I'm gonna learn how to say I love you

I'm gonna learn how to say I love you
From a shitty motel 'til the day we're down in hell
I'm gonna learn how to say I love you
Like starry nights right now when we're drunk at the waffle house
I'm gonna learn how to say I love you
Cleaning your apartment getting wine drunk with your parents
I'm gonna learn how to say I love you
Handcuffed to the cop car smiling in the rear view mirror
I'm gonna learn how to say I love you

I'm gonna learn how to say I love you

I'm gonna learn how to say I love you
