Lately, I can't breathe
Waiting, they're chasing me
No one listens but I'm okay with it

Only, wonder why
If only my hands weren't tied
World's a blister
But I'm okay with it

Don't touch me

What if I was there?
And what if I was scared?
I'm waiting for
They're at my door
But I'll be back again

Lonely, I'm wondering
Patrolling for enemies
No one listens but I'm okay with it

Don't trust me

What if I was there?
And what if I was scared?
I'm waiting for
They're at my door
But I'll be back again
And I'll be back again

You're wondering why
I don't know
You shout at me
Let me go
You're wondering why
I don't know
You shout at me
Let me go

And what if I was there? (Don't touch me)
And what if I was scared? (Don't trust me)
I'm waiting for
They're at my door
But I'll be back again

And what if I was there? (Don't touch me)
And what if I was scared? (Don't trust me)
I'm waiting for
They're at my door
But I'll be back again

I'm waiting for
They're at my door

    i think "blister" is a song about war from a soldiers perspective. The person in this song is being forced into combat, but they feel as though they cannot protest and refuse to fight because it is their patriotic duty- "no one listens, but im ok with it." "patrolling for enemies" "im waited for, they're at my door". The soldier is basically divulging their inner thoughts on war and fighting, he is scared, cold, and lonely- but he promises to return "but i'll be back again"

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,
