Cassette Tape

(album: Lamplight - 2012)

I hate talking and I hate walking next to someone I don't know
Someone I don't know
I hate pretending to keep up this friend thing
When I have enough friends and I'd rather be at home

Things would be much easier
And it would really save some time
If you knew my favorite color
And my favorite kind of pie

I wish there was a social excuse to make you a cassette tape
I'd teach you all about my life from side B to side A
Fast forward, rewind...Whenever or never mind

I hate been picky but right now you don't get me
But in time I think you will and I know you won't until
You listen very closely to the tape and mostly
You will see how I've become someone I hope you'll know and love

Things would be much easier
And it would really save some time
If you knew my favorite color
And my favorite kind of pie

I wish there was a social excuse to make you a cassette tape
I'd teach you all about my life from side B to side A
Fast forward, rewind...Whenever or never mind

My good friends know that I've never tried a boysenberry
My good friends know that in the wintertime my legs are hairy
My good friends know that I never understood chemistry
My good friends know that I never date people who know less than me
But you don't know and we're not getting any younger
But you don't know and telling you would just take longer

I wish there was a social excuse to make you a cassette tape
I'd teach you all about my life from side B to side A
Fast forward, rewind...Whenever or never mind
