Come sit down, there's plenty of room
There's room for you right here
Next to me, here by my side
There's nothing that you should hide
From a friend or is there?
You just look at me, Don't smile just stare
Too hard, too long
Now I know, I know that something's wrong...
With you
We can talk it out, we can figure out
What's going on inside
What are you running from?
What do you have to hide?

Tell me what's on your mind
What you feel, what do you believe
What is inside you that makes you scream?

There's something I need to say before you walk away
Just hold on, wait, hear me out
Can you hear me when I shout
That whatever's wrong we can work it out
Just look inside, you can do without
Take it from me you can't live this way

Tell me what's on your mind
What you feel, what do you believe
What is inside you that makes you scream?

What is running through your mind
While you're hiding all the time?
If you turn around cause you think you've found
Truth inside yourself
Then you lose your way but you try again
For something else

Tell me what's on your mind
What do you believe
What is, what is inside you
That makes you scream?
And is real what you're feeling inside
Just thought that you should know
This time when you walk away
You'll know where to go.

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,

There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again.
