A Girl Like You

perfect song to depict the scene of a guy telling the girl those immortal words

Pete sings with everything he has. I love him as an artist. He is truthful with his emotions and this song is about a girl he's in love with. Love is a huge thing and he's never been in true love before. This girl is perfect and he is waiting for that perfect moment to tell this perfect girl something that he's never told another, that he loves her.

your right... it is the perfect song. I'd absolutely melt if this song was written for me. Obviously not, but the way he wrote the song you actually get emotionally involved.

I think this song is about the girl that he loves, but cannot have. He is saying that someday...he'll find someone just like this girl, and then he'll be happy. But he can't be happy now because he can't have the girl he loves. But someday he'll fall in love with someone else, but he wants that girl to be just like the one he loves now. I love all of Pete Yorn's songs, but this one is my personal favorite.

I think Sarsbo is right. At least that's what I think of when I hear it. It is like he is telling the woman he loves that he loves her but realizes it is not possible for them to be together. Therefore his only alternative is to find someone just like her to love.
His songs are so honest and emotional I just love them. It is like he pours his life out for us to relate to.

This IS a great song, but to make a small clarification: Pete wrote this song after seeing a friend of his who had a major crush on a girl he liked. So there ya go.

FINALLY. A sweet song about a green-eyed girl.

Yep! It's called "A Girl Like You" by the way.

What a truly lovely song. I have green eyes, so I always fantasize about the guy I like singing me this song. Oh, if only. smile

this is a great great song, is it on an album?
