[ti:Before We Stopped to Think]
[ar:Yo La Tengo]
[00:12.44]There are black pots hangin' round the sink
[00:15.05]
[00:16.90]Before we stop to think
[00:20.84]
[00:24.95]We're not the ones who need a drink
[00:26.51]
[00:28.07]Before we stop to think
[00:32.30]
[00:35.01]And we stop to catch our breath
[00:38.23]
[00:39.24]And we stop fearing our death
[00:42.52]That's when we die
[00:43.34]
[00:46.47]And we stopped to tear apart the clock from our beating heart
[00:51.37]
[00:54.68]We would write our songs slow
[00:56.48]
[00:57.68]And we tried to speed them up
[01:01.90]
[01:05.87]We would write our songs soft
[01:08.46]
[01:09.34]Then we'd try to make them tough
[01:13.35]
[01:16.06]And we stop to catch our breath
[01:19.20]
[01:20.25]And we stop fearing our death
[01:23.16]That's when we die
[01:24.34]
[01:27.30]And we stopped to tear apart the clock from our beating heart
[01:32.15]
[02:14.56]We finish more than we could start
[02:16.30]
[02:17.67]And we're smarter than you'd ever think
[02:22.05]
[02:26.00]Now I think I need a drink
[02:27.74]
[02:28.67]Cause for a cause I never named
[02:33.76]
[02:36.33]And we stop to catch our breath
[02:39.29]
[02:40.63]And we stop fearing our death that's when we die
[02:44.92]
[02:47.82]And we stopped to tear apart the clock from our beating heart
