lyrics

I feel different
When I’m around you
I don't know why
I feel this way

When I was younger
I wished I was older
Now that I'm older
I feel the same

Why do you tell me
Tell me you like me
Only when it
Serves you most

I find redemption
I find redemption
I find redemption
In finding myself

I feel bad
When you're around
I don't want to talk
Talk about, how I like it
How I like it

You tell me
That I look bad
That my shirt's unclean
And I have bags under my eyes
Under my eyes

My friends they ask me
Why do you like them
I can't explain it
It's something I need

Now that I’m older
Now that I’m wiser
I wouldn’t let you
Fuck me around

I feel bad
When you're around
I don't want to talk
Talk about, how I like it
How I like it

You tell me
That I look bad
That my shirt's unclean
And I have bags under my eyes
Under my eyes
That's how I like it
That's how I like it

I like you to
Tell me what to do
And where to place my hands

I used to never like it
It used to never be like this
Until you, put me here

I feel bad
When you're around
I don't want to talk
Talk about, how I like it
How I like it

You tell me
That I look bad
That my shirt's unclean
And I have bags under my eyes
Under my eyes

That's how I like it
That's how I like it
That's how I like it
That's how I like it

about

El Tee Melbourne, Australia

El Tee writes honest songs about the perennial push-and-pull of holding space for yourself and giving it up for others. Listeners are swept up in stories delivered via introspective lyrics embedded in warm and nostalgic tones of instrumentation. El Tee’s songs saunter through intimate moments, and then drive hard and fast straight into the pit of your heart – all within the same few minutes. ... more
