The Mixed Tape

This is morning
It'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

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

I read your letter
The one you left when you broke into my house
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

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

And I can't get to you
I can't get to you
And I can't get to you, you, you

And 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 bitch could sink the sun
But it was you I was thinking of

It was you I was thinking of

And where are you now?
And where are you now?

This is my mix tape for her
It's like I wrote
Every note
With my own fingers

Anything But Ordinary

...is my new favorite song, I think. Or at least in the top 50. (It's too hard to pick just one.)

And I know it seems like all I've been posting are song lyrics. That's because someone else has already said it, and said it best, and I have nothing else interesting to say. Or at least I can't find a way to say it, and songs usually do a better job at it than I do.

Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh myself to sleep
It's my lullaby

Sometimes I drive so fast
Just to feel the danger
I wanna scream
It makes me feel alive

Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breathe?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me her eto bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life!
I'd rather be anything but ordinary, please.

To walk within the lines
Would make my life so boring
I want to know that I have been
To the extreme

So knock me off my feet
Come on now, give it to me
Anything to make me feel alive

Is it enough to love?
Is it enough to breathe?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life!
I'd rather be anything but ordinary, please.

I'd rather be anything but ordinary, please.

Let down your defenses
Use no common sense
If you look, you will see
That this world is
Beautiful,
Accident,
Turbulent,
Succulent,
Opulent,
Permanent,
No way,
I wanna taste it
Don't wanna waste it
Away...

Sometimes I get so weird
I even freak myself out
I laugh myself to sleep
It's my lullaby

Is it enough?
Is it enough?
Is it enough to breathe?
Somebody rip my heart out
And leave me here to bleed
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life!
I'd rather be anything but ordinary, please.
Is it enough?!
Is it enough to die?
Somebody save my life!
I'd rather be anything but ordinary, please.

Oh oh

I'd rather be anything but ordinary, please.
