Mixtape

After lunch passing in the hall

I handed it to you, then walked away

I kicked it off with Wonder Wall

A little In Your Eyes, November Rain

R.E.M. singing Everybody Hurts

But nobody hurts like the first love gone

I sing along, sing along, I sing along

Oh yeah

I remember

Pressing rewind to feel it one more time

And playing over and over

All your favorite songs and I was making 'em mine, yeah

I know you loved me, I know you did

Everything that I wanted to say, yeah

I put it on a mixtape

And that memory ain't going away

'Cause I've got it on a mixtape

Yeah, yeah, uh-huh

I wore it out all summer long

Side A, side B, whatever one it started on

Behind my bedroom door

Listen on my own with the headphones on

I remember

Pressing rewind to feel it one more time

And playing over and over

All your favorite songs and I was making 'em mine, yeah

I know you loved me, I know you did

Everything that I wanted to say, yeah

I put it on a mixtape

And that memory ain't going away

'Cause I've got it on a mixtape

Yeah, yeah, uh-huh

A Memorex with a hand-written note

Every title, every word you wrote

One listen and it's like I go

Right back to you

I remember

Pressing rewind to feel it one more time

And playing over and over

All your favorite songs and I was making 'em mine, yeah

I know you loved me, I know you did

Everything that I wanted to say, yeah

I put it on a mixtape

And that memory ain't going away

'Cause I've got it on a mixtape

Turn the stereo up and push play

I've got it on a mixtape

Ain't never gonna throw it away, no, I've got it on a mixtape

No, I've got it on a mixtape

Alright, ooh
