lyrics

She's half an avocado filled with olive opil, balsamic vinegar and lemon
She's an accidental holiday to somewhere weird and out the way and backward like Bosnia or Yemen

She's the moment when your fingers touch the strings
And it doesn't even rattle, just rings clear and true
The one for you
The one for you
The one for you

Where everyone sees flaws
I just see open doors
A winking sign that reads
"Please come on through"
I dreamt about your voice
On the telephone
The news is never good
Please come on home
The doctors really tried
Nothing they could do
But I am still alive
And so are you

I'm a Yo La Tengo album, I might not have your favourite songs
But I'll always comfort you, so listen
We are an ancient relic, an artefact or amulet that should be kept in some exhibition

But instead was lost and buried underground
Mysterious and precious, never to be found
The one for you
The one for you
The one for you

Where everyone sees flaws
I just see open doors
A winking sign that reads
"Please come on through"
I dreamt about your voice
Did you dream of mine?
I put it on a record
So you could listen any time
