If people still made mix tapes
then I’d make you a mix tape
I’d hide a secret meaning in the songs
And I know you would get it
Because you always get it
You always seem to know what’s going on

But people don’t make mix tapes
And no one has a tape deck
I know that I’m exaggerating some
But it’s just not the same
And I’m not afraid of change
But I think that I used to have more fun

In the days when I made mix tapes

Now I don’t know what I can do
If I want to flirt with you
It used to be so simple and so cool
and if you didn’t like the songs
then we’d both know it was wrong
and no one has to look like a fool

I’d use the old type writer
to type the band names and the titles
and I’d put some littles notes in there too
I’d draw something on the cover
with some secrets to discover

In the days when I made mix tapes
