Mixtape - Tift Merritt

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
