About

This song describes the creation of a mixtape by a person as they think back on a ruined relationship. He knows he will never be able to win back the other person, but constructs a track listing that, if received, would surely hit home.

The Mixed Tape Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This is morning
That's when I spend the most time
Thinking 'bout what I've given up
This is a warning
When you start the day just to close the curtains
You're thinking 'bout what I've given up

[Chorus 1]
Where are you now?
As I'm swimming through the stereo
I'm writing you a symphony of sound
Where are you now?
As I rearrange the songs again
This mix could burn a hole in anyone
But it was you I was thinking of
It was you I was thinking of...

[Verse 2]
I read your letter
The one you left when you broke into my house
I'm retracing every step you made
And you said you meant it
And there's a piece of me in every single
Second of every single day
But if it's true then tell me how it got this way

[Chorus 1]
Where are you now?
As I'm swimming through the stereo
I'm writing you a symphony of sound
Where are you now?
As I rearrange the songs again
This mix could burn a hole in anyone
But it was you I was thinking of
It was you I was thinking of...

[Verse 3]
And I can't get to you
I can't get to you
I can't get to you (you, you)

[Chorus 2]
Where are you now?
As I'm swimming through the stereo
I conduct a symphony of sound
Where are you now?
As I'm cutting through you track by track
I swear to God this mix could sink the sun
But it was you I was thinking of
It was you I was thinking of...

[Outro]
And where are you now?
And where are you now?
And this is my mixed tape for her
It's like I wrote every note
With my own fingers
