Yo La Tengo

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
