Song lyrics
This is morning
That's when I spend the most time
Thinking 'bout what I've given up
This is a warning
When you start the day just to close the curtains
You're thinking about what I've given up

Where are you now?
As I'm swimming through the stereo
I'm writing you a symphony of sound
Where are you now?
As I rearrange the songs again
This mix could burn a hole in anyone
But it was you I was thinking of
It was you I was thinking of

I read your letter
The one you left when you broke into my house
I'm Retracing ever step you made
And you said you meant it
And there's a piece of me in every single
Second of every single day
But if it's true then tell me how it got this way

Where are you now?
As I'm swimming through the stereo
I'm writing you a symphony of sound
Where are you now?
As I rearrange the songs again
This mix could burn a hole in anyone
But it was you I was thinking of

A can't get to you
I can't get to you
I can't get to you, you, you

Where are you now?
As I'm swimming through the stereo
I'll conduct a symphony of sound
Where are you now?
As I'm cutting through you track by track
I swear to God this mix could sink the sun
But it was you I was thinking of
It was you I was thinking of

And where are you now?
(And where are you now?)
And where are you now?
(And where are you now?)

And this is my mixed tape for her
It's like I wrote every note with my own fingers

This is definitely the best song by Jack's Mannequin. That's saying a lot too, considering this is one of my favorite bands.

I don't know if this was the first song recorded, but I know it's the first on the record. And "You Can Breathe," was the last recorded (Andrew says so at the end).

It seems these two songs sort of tie into each other... which I think is really neat. At the end of "You Can Breathe," you can hear him singing, "Where are you now?" in the background. It's extremely faint; it took me forever to notice it. And also, someone on here said that he had added "I can't get to you," to You Can Breathe as well?
Ah, amazing.

one of the best songs ever made! Andrew is a really good singer ...I like how he puts his feelings on the lyrics...Just like the last part 'This is my mixed tape for her, Its like I wrote every note with my own fingers...' The piano and drums is really good too! The videos are also great! Im totally obsessed with the song..
