Fade

Yo La Tengo Fade Lyrics
1.Ohm

Writer(s):Georgia Hubley/Ira Kaplan/James McNew

Sometimes the bad guys go right on top
Sometimes the good guys lose
We try not to lose our hearts, not to lose our minds

Sometimes the bad days may take their grip
Sometimes the good days fade
But the rain today hurts the drink to drink

But nothing ever stays the same
Nothings explained
Cause this isn't the road we know
Lose no more time
No time
Cause its been fun
I heard that you called me
From far away, far like the king Tut
Having the force to make it right
So I just cry

I fell to stay good
So been away
Before couldn't see
And we're gone
But nothing ever stays the same
Nothing's explained
Lose no more time
No time
Cause it's been fun
But nothing ever stays the same
Nothings explained
Lose no more time
No time
Cause it's been fun
Cause it's been fun
Cause it's been fun
Cause it's been fun
Cause it's been fun
Cause it's been fun


2.Is That Enough

Writer(s):Georgia Hubley/Ira Kaplan/James McNew

Things we did I'm thinking
Arent sure how and when we were misled
And if that matters
Its a varied feud

Is that enough? Oh
Is that enough? Well
Its not enough, no
I wondered if you're sleeping
I wonder why I hate to let that show

The timing's poor again
Was it open?
I can't see so well
Is that enough? Oh
Is that enough? Well
It's not enough, no
It's true
I'm getting smarter, nearly every day
To see my way

Is that enough? Oh
Is that enough? Well
It's not enough, no
Is that enough? Oh
Is that enough? Well
It's not enough, no
It's sad
What can't come back's what we can't bear to l


3.Well You Better

Writer(s):Georgia Hubley/Ira Kaplan/James McNew

Heard your voice in my head too soon
Pass girl, say it
It all could come, oh baby make up your mind
Please make up your mind

So we let a stone unturned
Maybe thats a lesson learned yea
I didn't wish you'd turn that much
Please make up your mind

There's always more to see but it'll keep go another day hard
We can't have the light
And everything's fine now
Please make up your mind

But if it's up, it's up to me
Baby make up your mind
Baby make up your mind
Oh Baby make up your mind fore it's too late


4.Paddle Forward

Writer(s):Georgia Hubley/Ira Kaplan/James McNew

It's on my list
We feel safe
Inside
But not away the tide
Hello tide
The water's warm
After that
We've come undone
Cracking synagogue
But we could stand
For now
This warm is coming as'

Once it's far too fast
Hang in tight when you form this

Shoot with force, we've come undone
We feel safe
Inside
But not away the tide
Hello tide
There's still time


5.Stupid Things

Writer(s):Georgia Hubley/Ira Kaplan/James McNew

For every stupid thing that happens to you
Every single thing I say
Did you stain a waist line into gray
Every little thing just creeps up on you
A bumpy road
I could still reach them
And it takes my breath away

And I still want
We always wake before we fall
I always know that when we wake up
You're mine
Liquid the time that holds us down but
I can barely slumber
When does that time go before our eyes?

Every stupid thing that happens to you
Simpler things are said
Not so hard to see
But it seems so out of reach

And I still want
We always wake before we fall
I always know that when we wake up
You're mine
And I still want
We always wake before we fall
I always know that when we wake up
You're mine


6.I'll Be Around

Writer(s):Georgia Hubley/Ira Kaplan/James McNew

When I stare into your space
I look before you
And I can see you at the times

I'll be around, to make up your thought
Save your kaleidoscope girl
In the doorway
Just look to my world at the times

I'll be around, to make up your thought
Why should I turn from your face?
I'm looking for you

I'll be around, to make up your thought


7.Cornelia and Jane

Writer(s):Georgia Hubley/Ira Kaplan/James McNew

I hear the whispering
Just out of you
Still I know whats inside of you
Neighbors appear in the view
Let me clear for you

How? Let me hold on to you

Caught up in motion
Swear when you're 'round
Too many sirens, they keep you up at night
Sit back and hold your ears

How will we hold back our tubes?

I hear them whispering
They analyze
But no one knows
What's lost in your eyes

Slipping away
They dig inside of you
And how can we hold on to you?


8.Two Trains

Writer(s):Georgia Hubley/Ira Kaplan/James McNew

Black on white
The background chess
Youre racing time
When are you coming to town?

Before the fall
Before the flood
After the sinking feeling and the final cut
What are you going to do?
We're all waiting for you
Loud bound train is always late
We stay lost inside our day
Impound train, engine blows
Approaches home, never slows

Loud bound train is flashing red
We stay lost inside our head
Impound train, engine blows
Approaches home, never slows

What are you going to do?
We're all waiting for yo


9.The Point Of It

Writer(s):Georgia Hubley/Ira Kaplan/James McNew

When you're screaming in my head

Say that we're afraid
Maybe we'll stroke it
When you choose to hide your eyes
Take me out of here
Find the comfort end of life
If open it disappears

Say that we're afraid
When I'm standing next to you
That's the point of it
Say that we're afraid
Honey, that's okay


10.Before We Run
