Lyrics
Oh my
Expressing surprise or astonishment.
How I wonder why you took my mag lines
Questioning why someone took the speaker's magazine lines (possibly lyrics or content).
And I guess I'll never know
Acceptance that the reason for taking the magazine lines may never be known.
Oh well
Resignation or acceptance of the situation.
I would give forgiveness but you still dwell
Willingness to forgive, but the lingering presence of the issue.
On all my past mistakes
Reflecting on past mistakes and their impact.
You don't even like my music taste
Noting the disapproval of the speaker's music taste by the other person.
So give me back my tapes
Requesting the return of the speaker's tapes.
You know music is my escape

So give me back my tapes

Oh I long for the person I met
Expressing a longing for the person the speaker once knew.
All those years ago
Reflecting on a distant past.
'Cause I don't even recognize you
Acknowledging a lack of recognition for the current version of the person.
How could I remind you
Pondering how to remind the person of the past connection.
Won't you give me back my cassettes
Requesting the return of cassette tapes.
Do they smell like my cologne
Asking if the tapes carry the speaker's scent.
Or sound like my voice coming through the phone
Wondering if the tapes sound like the speaker's voice over the phone.
You don't even like my music taste
Reiteration of disapproval for the speaker's music taste.
So give me back my tapes
Repeating the request for the return of tapes.
You know music is my escape

So give me back my tapes

Please don't throw them all away
Pleading not to discard the tapes.
I'll go to another place
Expressing a willingness to go to another place if the tapes are not discarded.
Please don't throw them all away
Repeating the plea not to throw away the tapes.
I'll go to another place
Reiterating a willingness to go elsewhere if the tapes are not discarded.
Please don't throw them all away
Emphasizing the speaker's plea not to discard the tapes.
I'll go to another place
Reiterating a willingness to find another place if the tapes are not discarded.
