you remind me of a firework, boy

i'm tired but i still can't sleep so let's sing:

silently
that dog.

You silently cheer me up.
You don't even know it.

You silently piss me off.
You don't even know it.

You silently turn me up.
You don't even know it.

You silently check me out.
You don't even know it.


center of gravity
yo la tengo

In crowded bars, at subway cars

Whenever you are next to me,
center of gravity,
can't feel both feet on the ground

Walking home after dark, past the softball park

It's clear to me, according to a rule I learned one day in school
Basic geometry: two halves of a circle, you and me

It's a familial song we've known so long

Your clever cuts into me
as long as you're next to me
I can't feel both feet on the ground
