All Your Secrets - Yo La Tengo

All of the thoughts we thought would stay unsaid

Have made their way here instead

Before the riot

As the days ahead become behind

Replace the tape as we rewind

Before the riot

Tell me all your secrets

Say it slow and clear

So you don’t have to speak twice

And if there’s things that I’m afraid to know

I should have learned them years ago

Before the riot

I don’t believe we’re hopeless as we fear

Or as good as we appear

Before the riot

I could be strong inside your sleeping eyes

Unafraid of truth, unafraid of lies

Before the riot

Think of what we’re missing

And take that thought and put it out of your head

And if we can stop a restless night

Won’t give up without a fight

Before the riot

I can feel the time is coming

Sure it’s coming soon

Do what we do

Hiding out from view

Sure it’s coming

Say the worst should happen?

Would we plan for that, even if we could?

And if we can’t stop a restless night

Won’t give up without a fight

Before the riot

Here it comes

Before the riot
