Yo La Tengo

Out the Window

Yo La Tengo


I'm sitting round like I got nothing to do 
Got something to say, but not to you, not now 
I'm just waiting for the back and forth that won't begin 
Back to back, that won't seem to end 
I'm here waiting for a sign 
Everything goes out the window 
Watching you walk out the door tonight 
When my hope falls, bounces off you, hits the floor 
splits into 2 or 3 pieces. 
Well, I'm still waiting on it, 
down and down to the empty space where it lays 
Where it falls apart 
I'm stuck waiting for some sign. 
Everything goes out the window 
Watching you walk out the door 
I wrote a letter to my oldest friend, 
forgot it for awhile. 
Then on second thought, I read it through and threw it out, 
I'm through waiting on a sign.
