Mixtapes

If people still made mix tapes

then I’d make you a mix tape

I’d hide a secret meaning in the songs

And I know you would get it

Because you always get it

You always seem to know what’s going on

But people don’t make mix tapes

And no one has a tape deck

I know that I’m exaggerating some

But it’s just not the same

And I’m not afraid of change

But I think that I used to have more fun

In the days when I made mix tapes

Now I don’t know what I can do

If I want to flirt with you

It used to be so simple and so cool

and if you didn’t like the songs

then we’d both know it was wrong

and no one has to look like a fool

I’d use the old type writer

to type the band names and the titles

and I’d put some littles notes in there too

I’d draw something on the cover

with some secrets to discover

In the days when I made mix tapes
