I've been thinking about you
So much I'd like to say
I'd like to get your attention
But the words aren't coming my way
A card or a letter
That won't do
I have something better
I'm going old school
I'll take my best records
And music on reel-to-reel
Get an old cassette and make a mix tape
To show you how I feel
I'm not sharing a playlist
Not burning a CD
I'm taking my time
To serenade you vicariously
Dropping the needle
One song at a time
I love the ritual
And I'd love to make you mine
I'll take my best records
And music on reel-to-reel
Get an old cassette and make a mix tape
To show you how I feel
So I'll take my best records
And music on reel-to-reel
Get an old cassette and make a mix tape
To show you how I feel
Just a little plastic soundtrack
That says what you mean to me
Here's some Otis Redding
A little Smokey too
I even threw in George Carlin
Just to lighten the mood
Let's listen together
All my favorite songs
If this goes right
We can play and pause all night long
'cause I took my best records
And music on reel-to-reel
Get an old cassette and make a mix tape
To show you how I feel
Yeah I took my best records
And music on reel-to-reel
Get an old cassette and make a mix tape
To show you how I feel
