Our Way to Fall
Yo La Tengo Lyrics

I remember a summer's day
I recall a specific day during the summer season.

I remember walking up to you
I have a distinct memory of approaching you on that day.

I remember my face turned red
I can vividly recall blushing with embarrassment or shyness.

And I remember staring at my feet
I recall gazing downward, possibly due to feeling self-conscious.

I remember before we met
I have a memory of a time before we were acquainted with each other.

I remember sitting next to you
I distinctly remember sharing physical proximity with you.

And I remember pretending I wasn't looking
I recall attempting to appear disinterested or casual when observing or glancing at you.

So we'll try and try
Despite the challenges we may encounter, we will make an effort repeatedly.

Even if it lasts an hour
Our efforts will persist for a brief period of time if necessary.

With all our might
We will exert our fullest effort and energy toward this goal.

We'll try and make it ours
We will endeavor to attain ownership or possession of what we are pursuing.

Cause we're on our way
We have embarked upon a journey or path toward something.

We're on our way to fall in love
Our journey is leading us toward developing romantic feelings for each other.

I remember your old guitar
I have a recollection of a guitar that was once yours.

I remember I Can't Explain
I recall a specific song titled 'I Can't Explain'.

I remember the way it looked around your neck
I have a clear memory of how the guitar hung around your neck.

And I remember the day it broke
I recall the specific day on which the guitar was damaged and ceased to function.

I remember song you sang
I remember hearing you sing a particular song.

I remember the way you looked tonight
I recall the appearance of your physical features on a specific night.

And I remember the way it made me feel
I have a memory of the emotions that were evoked within me by the situation at the time.

Yea we try and try
Again, we persist in our efforts despite obstacles or difficulties.

Yeah we're on our way to fall in love
We are currently progressing toward developing romantic feelings for each other.

We're on our way to fall in love
Once more, our journey is leading us toward developing romantic feelings for each other.

We're on our way to fall in love
Our journey continues to guide us toward loving each other.
