Little Eyes - Yo La Tengo

Took a walk alone last night, slept inside your head

It was raining hard again, crawled back into bed

Tried to catch up to you but you moved too fast

Thought about a million things, fell asleep at last

Got up again last night, tore all over town

Skidding tires, screeching brakes barely make a sound

We were on a winding road going 65

Slid along an icy stretch, made it back alive

Little eyes are open but they don’t see very far

You can only hurt the ones you love, not the ones you’re thinking of

Little eyes are open but they’re sinking back again

Don’t you know you’re sleeping much too long, wake up little eyes

Moving but not gaining any ground

Climbing up the escalator as it takes you down

Last night I heard this sound echoed everywhere

Like a buzzing amplifier burning through the air

It’s still raining hard, you said, have you any clue?

Is it ever gonna stop?

I guess that’s up to you

Little eyes are open but they don’t see very far

You can only hurt the ones you love, not the ones you’re thinking of

Little eyes are open but they’re sinking back again

Don’t you know you’re sleeping much too long, wake up little eyes
