[Verse 1: Gareth]
Trying to find the perfect match between pretentious and pop
Some crappy artwork that took too way, way long to draw
Hand-written track listing restarted every time the pen smudged
Encoded title doesn't give away as much as it should

[Chorus: Gareth & Aleks]
It started with a mix
How did it come to this?
I think it always will

[Verse 2: Aleks]
Trying to find the perfect match between pretentious and pop
Some crappy artwork that took too way, way long to draw
Hand-written track listing restarted every time the pen smudged
Encoded title doesn't give away as much as it should

[Chorus: Aleks & Gareth]
It started with a mix
How did it come to this?
I think it always will

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus: Gareth & Aleks, Los Campesinos!]
It started with a mix (How did it come to this?)
I think it always will
It started with a mix (How did it come to this?)
I think it always will
