Lyrics

[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
