Love is a Mixtape

from We're All We Have by Divine Weeks

about

The most sprightly lark of a track on "We're All We Have," "Love is a Mixtape" is a tribute to the lost art of making mixtapes for someone you fancy because sometimes music is the only way to tell someone how you feel.

lyrics

LOVE IS A MIXTAPE

I’ve been sitting on something, it’s time that you knew
Love is a mixtape, I made one for you.
If you wanna know me, just listen to Nina Simone
And that high lonesome of George Jones.

If you’re feeling lonely, feeling like there’s no one around
Just listen to Aretha make a joyful sound.

ch. Just gimme your love, just gimme your love
Just gimme your love, just give me your…

I’ve been trying to tell you what’s really going on inside,
But I’m scared if you knew you’d probably run and hide.
You tell me the world is heavy and your heart feels like a ton
I just want you to know you’re not the only one.

If you’re feeling lonely, feeling like you can’t go on
Just listen to my heart beat in this song.

ch.

No one knows what I’m feeling, it’s like holding oceans inside.
I only know one way to tell you…these songs could save your life.

You opened your heart to me, straight down to your soul
All the beautiful heartbreak no one saw before.
We went out riding around singing songs in your car.
We sang for our sanity rolling under the stars.

Just gimme your love, just gimme your love…
