Lyrics Mixtape - Tift Merritt

Mixtape

You, how did you get so wise?
I take the advice I find in your eyes
Me, I’ve been waiting outside
Most of my life
Oh like a rare B-side
I’m just making you mixtapes with homemade covers
Analog to show we’re lovers
And here under the jacket folds inside
I’ve taped my heart for you to find
To find the perfect way
Which album to say
I la la love you
With this plastic cassette
It’s not finished yet
It’s gonna tell you slowly
I’m just making you mixtapes with homemade covers
Strings and drawings show we’re lovers
When you’re driving around in the summertime
To hear again, just press rewind
Rewind, the world comes to an end
Turns over again
Another 1000 times
But me, I’ll be the same
No, I never change
Oh, like a rare B-side
I’ll be making you mixtapes with homemade covers
Analog to show we’re lovers
So much rock and roll love in a plastic case
Play it loudly, see my face
I’m just making you mixtapes with homemade covers
Mazzy Star, Donovan’s «Colours»
Just an audio love letter painted blue
I spent all day making for you
