I'm making you a tape
Of nothing but static
To imagine the waves of the beach in south California
I'm making you a tape
Of the songs that have changed you
And we'll both sit and watch as they change you
Again and again; each better than the last
If you can give me some time
I can find the perfect pick of both design and disaster
If you can give me some time
I can find the perfect songs to describe my behavior
I hope eventually that I can
Find a good reason just to come out and say it
And then you'll see what I mean
When I finish the gift I've always dreamt of giving
I'm making you a tape
Of all those bands you liked in high school
Like The Appleseed Cast
And some other young angry songwriters
A tape's just a reason
To record a piece of you
Another excuse to use prolific words
To get close enough to you
If you can give me some time
I can find the perfect mix of both design and disaster
If you can give me some time
I can find the perfect songs to describe my behavior
I hope eventually that I can
Find a good reason just to come out and say it
And then you'll see what I mean
When I finish the gift I've always dreamt of giving
