Sometimes I Don't Get You - Yo La Tengo

Sometimes I don’t get you

It’s like an endless night

All I do is waste

And the look on your face like a knife

Am I fooling myself making believe

Together as one happily

Sometimes I don’t get you

And I never lie

Sometimes I don’t know you

It’s like we never met

And what seems fine by me

Is your litany of regrets

Am I’m clinging to something that’s passed

That was never intended to last

Sometimes I don’t know you

Messes with my head

Sometimes I think I don’t know

How to be on my own

Sometimes I won’t answer the door

Or talk on the phone

With you by my side

I don’t have to hide

The twig needs a trunk

So that it can continue to grow

The twig needs a trunk

So that it can continue to grow

Sometimes I don’t get you

It’s like I’m lost at sea

But then you say you’re okay

And I know that you’ll stay with me

Though it never comes soon enough

We’ll get through the difficult stuff

No matter what we do

I’ll be there for you

And maybe I’ll get you

And you’ll get me
