Black Flowers - Yo La Tengo

You can take what you can get

I forgive but I forget

You can never sleep enough

And your alarm is going off

You wake up and you can’t pretend a dream was just a dream again

Won’t you dry your eyes?

But it doesn’t matter anymore, you did just what you did before

Until you realize the words go la la la la la

You can dip your brain in joy

When you find the real McCoy

When some pretty boys with skinny ties, black flowers and Valentines

Try to take you home

Do you recognize that I have stopped before you get too high

On your own supply, singing la la la la

You want it, you got it, but you can’t take it home

You’ve got a long way to go

I wait forever to say that you will

You have a heart to show

Honey, you don’t have to stay inside, don’t have to run, don’t have to hide

Come and dry your eyes

You know you can always change your mind, maybe I will too in time

Once we understand no one understands at all

Singing la la la la

Singing la la la la
