A Shy Dog Lyrics by Yo La Tengo

President Yo La Tengo / New Wave Hot Dogs

0

Sitting at home inside yourself
Thinking it's cool to be so reserved
And it's kinda funny
Lying in bed at night wasting time, wasting time
And I know how that is, want to know how that is
How do these days go by?
Why does time move so slow?
When are my decisions made?
Make a new plan that you're gonna be strong
Eat a bit of lunch and the moment's gone
But not quite forgotten
When you're alone at night, reflecting time, reflecting time
And I know where that leads
No, I know where that leads
How do these days go by?
Why does time move so slow?
When are my decisions made?
When that day comes, you're sure you're gonna know
You're like some shy dog looking for a nerve
Looking for the nerve to bite
Start to react, too smart to miss
You're coming just till you resent
It's turning into a problem
Lying awake at night just wasting time, wasting time
And I know where that leads
No, I know where that leads
How do these days go by?
Why does time move so slow?
How do these days go by?
Why does time move so slow?
When are my decisions made?
I'll never know
I'll always wonder
