i'd love to talk but with nothing to say   we'd close our eyes the words melt away   you'd cover your face and i'll hold your ears   and whisper into your hair "i'll always be here"      i'd sit with you and listen to mixtapes   the ones i made to fix our mistakes   appologies tracked out on cassettes   an ordered list of all my regrets      im making a cassette and i'm writing all the songs   i'll craft the perfect melody for you to sing along      i'd love to talk but with nothing to say   your soft gelatin lips steal my words away   just close your eyes and i'll hold you near   and whisper into your hair "i'll always be here"      i'm making a cassette and i'm writing all the songs   i'll craft the perfect melody for you to sing along   in spite of the politics and rules that govern time   i'll turn back every moment until your heart can be mine      a myriad of moods threatens to tear up every rule   from complex shapes come a brand new tune
