Mixtape Mentality

I'd seen you walking by
Caught a glance
Maybe I'd caught your eye
The moment that I'd been waiting for had come

I knew that I had to say something
Should have known I'd do the wrong thing
It was all I could think of
I was struck dumb, oh

I had a mixtape mentality
I'd pick songs to say all you meant to me
In real life, I didn't have the words at all
No no no
I had a mixtape mentality
A playlist to convey all you meant to me
When I saw you, I never knew what to say at all
Oh no no no

Might as well have walked on by
It couldn't happen if we were both too shy
But that's exactly what we were
Oh oh

If I couldn't get actual words out
Crippled by all my stupid self-doubt
This was gonna be one more lesson to learn
Oh, but I never learn

I had a mixtape mentality
I'd pick songs to say all you meant to me
In real life, I didn't have the words at all
No no no
I had a mixtape mentality
A playlist to convey what you meant to me
When I saw you, I never knew what to say at all
No no no

These days, all I ever think about
Could I have done it differently somehow?
Don't suppose it really matters now

I had a mixtape mentality
I'd pick songs to say all you meant to me
In real life, I didn't have the words at all
Oh no no
I had a mixtape mentality
A playlist to convey what you meant to me
When I saw you, I never knew what to say at all
Oh no no no no
Oh no no no no
Oh no no no no
