Cover art for The Mixed Tape lyrics by Jack's Mannequin

This song is simply what it's about. Making a Mix Tape.

It seems that he's torn by the distance between him and someone, so he just makes a mix tape (one of the best mix tapes ever from the sounds of it) to remind him of her. &then gives it to her, in order to remind her of him. She's always on his mind, and he's hoping this will reassure her. As for the breaking into houses part, I've always found that to be rather romantic sounding... as creepy as it sounds to other people. I've personally always wished someone would break into my house and leave me a love letter. It sounds as if he was surprised that she had said something like "there's a piece of you in every single day" and he wants to know if she really meant it...

However, that's just my two cents...
