Lie Like This Lyrics

[Verse 1]
He says I'm pretty upside down
Pretty right side up too
Turn me halfway around
He says I'm emotionally sound
Emotionally fucked too
Now I'm all turned around

[Pre-Chorus]
He says I'm daydreamin'
About leavin' for no reason
Well, I got hay fever
From my feelings, yet I don't

[Chorus]
Head on your shoulder, you keep pullin' me close
I'm spillin' over, tryin' not to unfold
I don't need to tell you, but I'm lettin' you know
The truth is I can't resist whenever we lie like this
Held onto horses, but I'm lettin' them go
We're right on course to never stop or go slow
I don't need to tеll you, but I'm lettin' you know
The truth is I can't resist whеnever we lie like this, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
Lie like this, lie like
Lie like this, lie like
Can't resist
Whenever we
Lie like this, lie like
Lie like this, lie like
Can't resist

[Verse 2]
He says I'm kinda too upfront
When I'm drivin' from the backseat
So lead me where you want
He says I'm a little too hard to handle
A little too tough to get to
But beautiful once you break through

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, he says I'm daydreamin'
About leavin' for no reason
Well, I got hay fever
From my feelings, yet I don't

[Chorus]
Head on your shoulder, you keep pullin' me close
I'm spillin' over, tryin' not to unfold
I don't need to tell you, but I'm lettin' you know
The truth is I can't resist whenever we lie like this
Held onto horses, but I'm lettin' them go
We're right on course to never stop or go slow
I don't need to tell you, but I'm lettin' you know
The truth is I can't resist whenever we lie like this, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
Lie like this, lie like
Lie like this, lie like
Can't resist
Whenever we
Lie like this, lie like
Lie like this, lie like
Can't resist

[Chorus]
Head on your shoulder, you're pullin' me close
I'm spillin' over, tryin' not to unfold
I don't need to tell you, but I'm letting you know
The truth is I can't resist whenever we lie like this
Held onto horses (Woo), but I'm lettin' them go, yeah
We're right on course to never stop or go slow
I don't need to tell you, but I'm lettin' you know
The truth is I can't resist whenever we lie like this, yeah

[Post-Chorus]
Lie like this, lie like
Lie like this, lie like
Can't resist
Whenever we
Lie like this, lie like
Lie like this, lie like
Can't resist
Yeah

via Apple Music

I was laying in bed with JP, and I was laying in front of him, so my stomach was on his back, and I turned around upside down and he looked at me and said, “You’re pretty upside down.” I turned forward and he said, “You’re pretty right side up, too.” I was like, “I’m putting that in a song.” That was the start of the album.

What did Julia Michaels say about "Lie Like This"?

An October 2020 Stereogum article quotes Michaels saying:

It’s about being hesitant about this new, beautiful thing and just giving in anyway, because you know that it’s really special. There are so many spectrums of love. One minute, you’re crying on the floor because you’ve been broken up with or something didn’t work out the way that you wanted to. Then, all of a sudden, you’re kissing in a park and you’re holding hands with someone new and you’ve got all these butterflies. It’s just such a broad spectrum, such a range of emotions — love — and I wanted to distill its essence into a song.
