lyrics:
switching the frequency, every station,
nothing reminds me of you
wishing I could put some songs on your mixtape,
but none of the singers ring true

I've read sonnets by Shakespeare, and verses by Frost
but none of them could verbalize
how you make me feel, just how special you are,
and how I love getting lost in your eyes

and it's hard to feel that you're worthy of love,
when it's always "he was the perfect boy",
"she's the perfect girl", and you're neither,
but you're still perfect for me.

so this song is for you, the one who's never sung about
the "they" that makes every day worth singing about
makes me wanna shout "I love you" from the roof
though you're not my girlfriend, not my boyfriend,
you sure know how to bring me joy, friend
you're you, and you're the one that I love

so you see I'm at a disadvantage I'm competing
with Chaucer with Keats and with Poe
and I've got my work cut out, millions of poems,
but I had to let you know

you meant everything to me and I'd stay up all night,
just to make sure you know that you belong
and I'm not as good with words, but the least I can do
is give your mixtape its first song

so this song is for you, the one who's never sung about
the "they" that makes every day worth singing about
makes me wanna shout "I love you" from the roof
though you're not my girlfriend, not my boyfriend,
you sure know how to bring me joy, friend
you're you, and you're the one that I love

maybe the great poets write better than me,
but I know I'm the real lucky one
I get to know you, know you are my person
and that simply could not be outdone

so this song is for you, the one who's never sung about
the "they" that makes every day worth singing about
makes me wanna shout "I love you" from the roof
though you're not my girlfriend, not my boyfriend,
you sure know how to bring me joy, friend
you're you, and you're the one that I love
