The Way Some People Die Lyrics - Yo La Tengo

It wasnt it more than a minute 

That first one was the test 

He was listening but i dont 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 

Everyones 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 doesnt 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 hes giving up 

Everyones 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 hes a victim 

He just thinks its a guess 

Its not the question, its 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
