Lyrics Yo La Tengo

Yo La Tengo

Today Is the Day

I followed you foolishly

You were at a smoky bar, you were out til three

Sat alone inside my car, it was nearly four

We were gonna wait for you all night

So I locked the door

I was gonna spend the night, coulda been okay

We were gonna talk all night, till I went away

Remember how you used to say, can't stay up late

A minute later we're older now, I can't stay awake

I'm driving by your parent's farm, in the Chevrolet

I remember that rusty car, like it was yesterday

Saw my brother driving by, the other day

I wished that I'd go out to him, but he drove away

Saw my sister standing there, standing in rain

Then I thought about nothing, that it feels the same

Another day, come and gone

Don't think I can ever sing that song

Little secrets we bring along

I'm taking my time, trailing behind, I thought of you

Today is the day I think of you
