Song For A Mix Tape
[The Descendent's song "Silly Girl" plays at the beginning in the background]
Today I made you a mix tape
And I decorated it with lots of stars
It had all my favorite songs
There was Jawbreaker and Armchair Martain
Built to Spill and the Descendents
Hell, I even put one of ours on it
Falling for you was the easy thing to do
If only somehow I could make you hang around
Today I made you a mix tape
To say exactly how I feel inside
And make you feel it too
These are the songs that make me smile
And cry myself to sleep at night
When I'm lying without you
I love you more than I ever loved anyone before
Hey, silly girl, I'm begging you
All of these songs they remind me of you
I hope that you like this song
Did you ever listen to the words and melody
Do you feel the pain inside
The way that it hurts me?
When you're in your room at night
I hope you'll be singing along
And make me a tape of your favorite songs
