I need to compile a list of words I need to say to you

we've just met and i'm clueless on what I should do

to express what i feel towards this

and I couldn't pluck enough courage to even give you our first kiss

 

I bang my head on the cafe table

questioning if dating is some sort of fable

I'm jealous of seeing what other couples have

they step to happiness meaning that I've just chose the wrong path

 

So on the back of a napkin

I write down lists of words

then screw it up into a ball and throw it in a bin

as the words I write are equivalent to turds

 

Then it hit's me

I jump out of my seat

and within a beat

I'm at home compiling a mixtape

 

Right first track

now I don't want to seem like i'm on crack or anything

so I need to find something with a catchy ring

something that will make her willing to call me back

 

Nothing too forward though

making a backwards step at our awkward next meeting

so no songs that are too forward about love or death

or rappers glamourising the use of crystal meth

 

I know a happy song

the friends theme tune

no, wait that decision is wrong

don't want to convey a different attitude

 

I'll show her my gratitude with a funny little number

Sister sledge we are family

oh god, I don't want her to marry me

this awkward meeting I fear may occur

 

I need a solid mix of good songs and love ballads

a salad of musical stylings

something that will make you want to start smiling

knowing that this is my honest message

 

Guy Garvey will sing you stories of romance

and Caribou will make you want to dance

I'll skip out the trance

and just skip to my point

 

I'll draw crude stickmen on the cd lining

to make sure  you appreciate the effort gone into compiling

this list because truthfully, i'm besotted 

and I'm too sure you've already spotted

 

I'll give it a catchy name

nothing stupid or lame

jut a simple title

for you to remember it is vital

 

 

In musical format

A list of words I just couldn't say to you
