Boy Like Me

 

This song has caused me all sorts of problems. When I first heard it I was excited, thought it fit the first few months of me and Arch, that whirlwind of teenage lust and laughter. I knew he wasn't *exactly* like me, but I stretched things.

Then with Turkic it all seemed to slide together and I said, "Yes. This is the one. This song exactly describes him. Yes" and then of course it all blew up and I said, "Fuck if this song describes him. He's also an asshole."

And now there's Finn and I can't help grinning and rolling my eyes.

You’re the kind of boy who likes the kind of girls
Who like to fool around with the boys on the first date

Or without any date at all...

I’m the kind of girl who ain't supposed to like those boys
But I kinda like those boys that like those kind of girls

True enough.

Well maybe it’s fate
We should meet up for a date
So we can sit around and talk about
Those things we just can’t talk about
Like makin’ love and drinkin’ ‘til the sun comes up

Yeah, there isn't any dating, but there's plenty of texting about those topics.

Well hallelujah I finally found a boy like me
Lord have mercy I think I’m in a fantasy
You been talkin’ lots of stuff sayin’ what you’re gonna do
What do you want to do with me
Well hallelujah I finally found a boy like me

Oh, he certainly has been talking. "Wanna fuck?" "As much as I like a little roughness, I believe there's a point at which I would lose focus on the task at hand.""Make it up to you tomorrow."
