You reminded me
That I would never be twenty-two
Listening to the alarm
Waking up south of North Avenue

My skin's gonna wonder what
My skin is gonna wonder what I'm doing now
And my skin is gonna wonder
My skin is gonna wonder what I am doing now

So write me a letter and tell me where you are
How to get there and how long
That it takes to tape me some songs

Make me a mixtape
Something old and something new
Something I said or that we did
That reminds me of you
Make me a mixtape that makes me yours

My skin's gonna wonder what
My skin is gonna wonder what I'm doing now
And my skin is gonna wonder
My skin is gonna wonder what I am doing now

So write me a letter and tell me where you are
How to get there and how long
That it takes to tape me some songs
Make me a mixtape
Something old and something new
Something I said or that we did
That reminds me of you
Make me a mixtape that makes me yours

Make me a mixtape
Don't leave out Hüsker Dü
Put something on
That The Cars did in 1982
Make me a mixtape that brings me closer to you
Make me a mixtape that brings me closer to you
Make me a mixtape
Don't leave out Hüsker Dü
Put something on
That The Cars did in 1982
Put on Duran Duran, Duran Duran, and U2
Make me a mixtape that brings me closer to you
