i'd love to talk but with nothing to say
we'd close our eyes the words melt away
you'd cover your face and i'll hold your ears
and whisper into your hair "i'll always be here"

i'd sit with you and listen to mixtapes
the ones i made to fix our mistakes
appologies tracked out on cassettes
an ordered list of all my regrets

im making a cassette and i'm writing all the songs
i'll craft the perfect melody for you to sing along

i'd love to talk but with nothing to say
your soft gelatin lips steal my words away
just close your eyes and i'll hold you near
and whisper into your hair "i'll always be here"

i'm making a cassette and i'm writing all the songs
i'll craft the perfect melody for you to sing along
in spite of the politics and rules that govern time
i'll turn back every moment until your heart can be mine

a myriad of moods threatens to tear up every rule
from complex shapes come a brand new tune
