Mixtape Left in Your Jacket Pocket

Lyrics

I slipped a tape in your jacket pocket
Ten songs for the way you rock it
Handwritten list in my loopy script
Every track a word that I never slipped
You wore that coat on a Tuesday night
Found it on the train in the evening light
Did you smile, did you hum along
Did you know every line was a song

Press play, don't say
Let the tape do the talking today

Mixtape in your pocket, pressing on your heart
Track by track, here's where we start
No need to call, no need to reply
Just let the music tell you why
Mixtape in your pocket, soft and slow
Everything I mean, you'll know

Track three's a slow one, track five's for the rain
Track seven's the one that says my name
I left the last side blank for you
To fill with what you want to do
Maybe a laugh, maybe a sigh
Maybe a long, honest goodbye
But I hope you sing it out loud
In the middle of a city crowd

Press play, don't say
Let the tape do the talking today

Mixtape in your pocket, pressing on your heart
Track by track, here's where we start
No need to call, no need to reply
Just let the music tell you why
Mixtape in your pocket, soft and slow
Everything I mean, you'll know

Hiss and crackle, a little bit of static
Love is rarely ever automatic
But I made you a map in the form of a song
And I hope you hum it all night long

Mixtape in your pocket, pressing on your heart
Track by track, here's where we start
No need to call, no need to reply
Just let the music tell you why
Mixtape in your pocket, soft and slow
Everything I mean, you'll know

Press play, press play
Let the tape say what I can't say
