This Tape

I saw you dancing that Friday night
Albeit through tired eyes
But there was a kaleidoscopic hopscotch game
Going on under your feet

I was gonna say something
But my mouth let me down
My brain was running all kinds of permutations
About why it was couldn't meet

So, I pulled out those dusty boxes, relics of a place forgotten
Ancient memories of a simpler time

The only way to say what I want tonight
Is with this tape of songs I hope you'll like
As I stay and while away the night
I hope that this tape will be the soundtrack of our lives

I lost command of my words
Deserted by my native tongue
I was joking in gibberish
And trading in non sequiturs

All of the evidence pointed to
Abandoning the plan
The little voice in my head was determined
To play saboteur

Magnets and melodies for the memories we're making
I'm gonna get the message to you whatever it takes

The only way to say what I want tonight
Is with this tape of songs I hope you'll like
As I stay and while away the night
I hope that this tape will be the soundtrack of our lives

I hope that this tape will be the soundtrack of our lives
Oh, this tape
