Yo La Tengo
Awhileaway
[Verse 1]
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

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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
When you and me
We don’t even have to agree
Is that true? We’ll see
Maybe once or twice in awhileaway
[Verse 3]
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

[Chorus]
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
