You remind me that I'm never going to be twenty-two

listening to the alarm waking up south of north avenue

my skin is going to wonder what I'm doing now.

So write me a letter,

tell me where you are

how to get there

and how long that it takes to tape me some songs.

Make me a mixtape

something old and something new

something I said or that we did

that reminds me of you make me a mixtape that makes me yours.

Don't leave out Husker Du.

Put something on that The Cars did in 1982.

It makes me yours.
