Season of the Shark

Yo La Tengo


Do you need someone to hide behind? 
I don't mind, I don't mind 
Do you need to be alone to unwind? 
That's alright, that's alright 

Sure I know it's hard 
I know that it's that way for everyone 
For everyone 
Some things go wrong 
You sink so low you even blame the sun 
You blame it as the cause 
Of the shadows on the wall 
They're not as bad as they appear 
Could it be that it's the season of the shark 

Do you need someone to help you through? 
Well I don't know, I don't know 
Someone to take questions for you? 
I don't know, I don't know 

I want to be the one to make you feel OK right now 
Some way, somehow. 
When I fall short 
I sink so low I even blame the clouds 
For blocking out the sun 
And the shadows on the wall 
That's why you feel alone 
Could it be that it's the season of the Shark 

Please don't be afraid 
No matter how much out there scares you so, scares you so 
Just look around, if it's not me then someone else you know 
You're not alone at all 
Ignore the shadows on the wall 
They don't mean a thing 
Could it be that it's the season of the shark 
I believe that it's the season of the shark 
Could it be that it's the season of the shark
