Story Behind The Song
In college there were many self-assured, confident people that I admired and wanted to emulate, but at that time did not know who I was. I was soul-searching and wishing that I already had it "figured out."
Song Description
Like You is a sweet, introspective coming-of-age song exploring feelings of vulnerability when meeting someone who knocks you off your feet. It speaks to the pressure placed on people to be confident - to know who you are and who you want to be.

Lyrics
The wind is blowing my house down
?Huff and puff and it's gone ?
I just want to be like you
?You always know what you want
You always know what you want
You always know what you want
The lights here can be blinding
Watch your step then you fall
?I just want to be like you
?Want to be anything at all
?At all
At all
Now you are leaving?
What will I do when you're gone?
I just want to be like you
?But I'm not ?No, I'm not
?I'm not, No no, I'm not
The wind is blowing my house down?
Huff and puff and it's gone ?
I just want to be like you
But I'm not
