Chrome Cassette Serenade
I'm looking for the perfect words
But even they come out all wrong
It's like reaching for the finest lyrics
But mine's a fair-to-midling song
I would have said it myself
but my words feel like a fetter
And I mean it just as much
but they say it so much better
Well if I had the voice to sing,
I'd sing it all for you
And if I knew the words to say
I'd give those to you too
If I could find the music
Then it wouldn't go unplayed
But all I have to give to you
is a chrome-cassette serenade
It's someone else's voice
Singing someone else's song
But from me to you
is where their words belong
So take these stolen words
And know that they are true
Sealed with a stolen kiss
I give them now to you
Well if I had the voice to sing,
I'd sing it all for you
And if I knew the words to say
I'd give those to you too
If I could find the music
Then it wouldn't go unplayed
But all I have to give to you
is a chrome-cassette serenade
