Hold on, I can't feel you
It's been too long for any rescue.
Is it lost, or just too hard to find?
Cut the cord. fade to black.
It's better left behind.

It's time to celebrate everything is gone.
We're left with all the waste.
It's time to get it back

Back to bare bones

Keep on, it will find you.
A new light-something to see through.
Pay the cost. you're standing in a line.
There's a way to get it back.
Just let it fall behind.

It's time to celebrate everything is gone.
We're left with all the waste.
It's time to get it back

Back to bare bones

You never listen. no, you never listen.
Never listen, know you never listen to anything I ever say at all.
You never see them. no you never see the traps set in your way.
But does it really matter if we fall.

Cut the cord. fade to black. it's better left behind.

    This song, to me, represents a friendship, lover or any kind of relationship that just needs to end and you need to start fresh

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,
