awhileaway

Yo La Tengo

How do you turn from fear?
How do you make dark thoughts disappear?
When nowhere to go feels right
Maybe I can hide from the night
Maybe I ll just turn on the light

So it s you and me
Hard times pass peacefully
Is that true? We ll see
Maybe once or twice in awhileaway

My heart skips every time
Your sleepy grin, your still-closed eyes
I don t need any more
I m sure I ve said all that before
Please don t laugh when I say it some more

When you and me
We don t even have to agree
Is that true? We ll see
Maybe once or twice in awhileaway

Things get better sometimes
But whether or not
It takes forever, it s in sight
If we re together
Please don t laugh when I say it some more

With you and me
Hard times pass peacefully
Is that true? We ll see
Maybe I ll believe what you say
Or maybe I can quiet my brain
Maybe once or twice in awhileaway
