Season Of The Shark

Yo La Tengo · Other Songs - Yo La Tengo

Do you need someone to hide behind
Well I donÂ’t mind
Well I donÂ’t mind
Do you need to be alone to unwind
Well thatÂ’s alright
ThatÂ’s alright
Sure I know its hard
Know that itÂ’s that way for everyone
For every one
Something go wrong
Sing so low you even blame the sun
You blame is at the cause
Of the shadows on the wall
TheyÂ’re not as bad as they appear
Could it be
that itÂ’s the season of the shark

Do you need someone to help you through
Well I donÂ’t know
I donÂ’t know
Someone to take questions with you
I donÂ’t know
I donÂ’t know

I want to be
The one to make you feel okay right now
Some way, some how
So when I fall short
I sink so low that I even blame the clouds
For blocking out the sun
And the shadows on the wall
ThatÂ’s why you feel alone

Could it be that itÂ’s the season of the shark?

Please donÂ’t be afraid
No matter how much out there scares you so
Scares you so
Just look around
If itÂ’s not me then someone else you know
And I donÂ’t belong at all
Ignore the shadows on the wall
They donÂ’t mean a thing
Could it be that itÂ’s the season
I believe that itÂ’s the season
of the shark

Could it be that itÂ’s the season of the shark
