Yo La Tengo: "Autumn Sweater (Kevin Shields Remix)" Lyrics

when I heard the knock on the door

I couldn't catch my breath

is it too late to call this off?

we could slip away

wouldn't that be better?

me with nothing to say

and you in your autumn sweater

I tried my best to hide in the crowded room

it's nearly possible

I wait for you, oh, most patiently

we could slip away

wouldn't that be better?

me with nothing to say

and you in your autumn sweater

so I looked for your eyes and the waves looked like

they'd pour right out of them

I'll try hard, I'll try always

but it's a waste of time

it's a waste of time if I can't smile easily

like in the beginning

in the beginning

we could slip away

wouldn't that be better?

me with nothing to say

and you in your autumn sweater

we could slip away

wouldn't that be better?

me with nothing to say

and you in your autumn sweater

you in your autumn sweater

you in your autumn sweater

you in your autumn sweater
