Handwritten lyrics, intentionally messy, potentially including alternate lyrics or verses, or words not fully legible. Trust me, lyrics clearly written turn into mediocre poetry. But this is the closest you'll come. Heavy paper in nice ink, though you can choose. Messy handwriting, professional presentation. Not a print. Happy to frame or laminate for additional cost.
You can ask for any customization, i.e. paper, size, color, artistic flexibility/messiness, the words I whisper before sealing in envelope and telling address to pigeon, etc...
Options:
- I pick the song (default, can be from album)
- You request specific song (0.50 cents extra)

You can hold a Compact Disc up to an old radio and I think it just works. But yeah just a CD with packaging that folds open and is beautiful to behold.

Remember that day when?
lyrics
I think we're ready for something to change before
you try to love me too hard and break something.
This isn't working, this ice is just hurting,
The sweat on your heart is a little concerning.
I've waited right here for as long as I could
but I guess I must change, like you promised I would.
The minute it was over, I cried on your shoulder,
Forgetting we shrug so much more when we're older.
I think we're ready for something to change before
I can convince you we're not.
I think you once promised, when this age ended us
I would crack at the seams or grow up and be honest
I think you once told me when I was feeling cold,
That was you in my spine shivering for old time's sake.
Wasting away we were wasting away
In my head and my heart and our every day.
And we both grew up in a safe on the shelf,
So we only know how to grow up by ourselves.
I think this age is ending, ending fast, scrape my heart against the mast,
I think this age is on it's knees, growing up is a disease.
I think I'm breaking at the neck, under everything I think,
over everything my body wants to do with you and me.
Growing up is a disease.
I think my feet are in the tide,
save yourself, get back inside.
Please tell my mom I'll be home after five.
I think I'm ready for something to change before
This age cannot be forgot.
Remember that day when we whispered we're gay?
Back when we were an Us and the world was some They.
But the world broke us down with some stutter she found,
And you slipped through the air in our whispers, away.
Please don't forget me
I'm still only resting
My plan is to find you in
ten years or something.
Cause I think we're ready for something to change before
I try to move on too fast and break something.
This isn't working, the bandage still hurting
I'm running in squares like the sheep we were herding.
Please don't forget me.
Wasting away, we were wasting away.
And oh please don't forget me.
My head or my heart or my everything.
And ah when it was over, held fast to your shoulder,
I forget that we shrug so much more now that we're older.
I think we're ready for something to change before
This age is all that I've got.
I think you once said, when I was feeling dead
You would hold my head and count to ten.
But here I am blue writing letters to you
and my head is rolling over too.
This sorry age,
Between the world we had, and the world we tried to save.
