Our Way To Fall

Yo La Tengo · And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out [2000]

I remember a summer's day

I remember walking up to you

I remember my face turned red

And I remember staring at my feet

I remember before we met

I remember sitting next to you

And I remember pretending I wasn't looking

So we'll try and try

Even if it lasts an hour

With all our might

We'll try and make it ours

Cause we're on our way

We're on our way to fall in love

I remember your old guitar

I remember I Can't Explain

I remember the way it looked around your neck

And I remember the day it broke

I remember song you sang

I remember the way you looked tonight

And I remember the way it made me feel

So we try and try

Even if it lasts an hour

With all our might

We'll try and make it ours

Because we're on our way

We're on our way to fall in love
