Lyrics Autumn Sweater - Yo La Tengo, Kevin Shields

Autumn Sweater

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 a 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
