Yo La Tengo the way some people die

Select language to translate this lyric

It wasn't it more than a minute that first one was the test
He was listening but I don't think he heard the rest
It was easy to fall but not easy to take a stand
With the sound of her voice or the touch of her hand
Everyone's heard the reasons why
A kid would let the poison creep inside
He said he wasn't scared but you know he lied
The way some people die
He doesn't think of tomorrow and he seldom looks back
When he did he saw failure and a future so black
So he sees himself through sad eyes
That have never caught the look of love
He'll never see what he's giving up
Everyone's heard the reasons why
A kid would let the poison creep inside
He said he wasn't scared but you know he lied
The way some people die
You might think he's a victim, he just thinks it's a guess
It's not the question
It's who you ask and the boats fly on Friday
And you're never gonna see him again
It wasn't love that did him in
Everyone's heard the reasons why
A kid would let the poison creep inside
He said he wasn't scared but you know he lied
The way some people die
