Yo La Tengo All Your Secrets lyrics

All of the thoughts we thought would stay unsaid
Have made their way here instead
Before the riot

As the days ahead become behind
Replace the tape as we rewind
Before the riot

Tell me all your secrets
Say it slow and clear
So you don't have to speak twice

And if there's things that I'm afraid to know
I should have learned them years ago
Before the riot

I don't believe we're hopeless as we fear
Or as good as we appear
Before the riot

I could be strong inside your sleeping eyes
Unafraid of truth, unafraid of lies
Before the riot

Think of what we're missing

And take that thought and put it out of your head

And if we can stop a restless night
Won't give up without a fight
Before the riot

I can feel the time is coming
Sure it's coming soon
Do what we do
Hiding out from view

Sure it's coming
Say the worst should happen?
Would we plan for that, even if we could?

And if we can't stop a restless night
Won't give up without a fight
Before the riot

Here it comes
Before the riot
