Yo La Tengo - The Story of Yo La Tango lyrics

We stared at the sun, too long until the shapes before our eyes turned into the sun, in our eyes We lied to ourselves for awhile in our usual style I wish we could ride To ourselves again We made up our minds to lose and never once looked back We only looked back just once We opened our hearts, it's true But not to any of you Sold out of the myth too soon And we tried, we tried with all our might We tore the playhouse down We ran headlong in our way We tried so hard We stared at the road ahead Closed our eyes and then sped up to the turn, around the bend With nothing to lose, we lost Suffered every cost It still causes pain to calm And we tried, we tried with all our might We tore the playhouse down We ran headlong in our way We tried so hard And we tried, we tried with all our might We tore the playhouse down We ran headlong in our way We tried so hard And we tried, we tried with all our might We tore the playhouse down And we ran headlong in our way We tried so hard Refused to let go of the air There was something there Sparks foam with gold A million strong and match forever lights in a row I'm still flushed from the glow I'm down on the road back home We stared at the sun, too long until the shapes before our eyes turned back into the sun, into the sun in our eyes We lied to ourselves for awhile in our usual style Now I wish we could ride, we wish we could lie to ourselves again And we tried, we tried, we tried with all our might we tore the playhouse down We ran headlong, headlong in our way... we tried so hard... we tried so hard... yeah we tried so hard...
