"to go off on my own" instead of "to grow up on my own"
this song is beautiful. while i am at a college 4 hours from the house i lived in for the first 18 years of my life, my close friend and i trade emails with songs that have captured our heart for that particular moment. he has sent me multiple Yo La Tengo songs, and i've really grown to love them. i was skimming the lyrics page and found this song. initially, the lyrics moved me. i did a google search and listened to the song on rhapsody. i was not expecting the beauty of the music to match so well with the lyrics. i'm not sure why i was so taken aback by Yo La Tengo's ability to do this.
despite the fact that i'm home right now, i want to go home. this song makes me want to become a child again before i knew what it was like to not be home... before i knew that i could truly ever call another place home... before i knew the confusing feeling of home no longer feeling as safe and secure as it did a year ago.
