Don't Have to Be So Sad - Yo La Tengo

You and me were at some goldfish pond

And I, I was tagging along for the ride

All the big-mouthed fish really made us laugh

And while I stood still, I felt a chill

I thought that maybe you did too

I wanted to feel that way forever

And that’s why if you’re looking at me, I’ll try

To be what you want to see, and if I’m, if I’m ever that lucky

You won’t have to be so, you won’t have to be so sad

You won’t have to be so sad

Last night I was trying to read in bed

I got to watching you sleep instead

Even when I got tired, I couldn’t stop

Because I love you so and I pray you know

But I’m not much for praying

I knew I couldn’t say that without making a joke

And that’s why if you’re looking at me, I’ll try

To be what you want to see, and if I’m, if I’m ever that lucky

You won’t have to be so, you won’t have to be so sad

You won’t have to be so sad

Yeah, that’s why if you’re looking at me, I’ll try

To be what you want to see, and if I’m, if I’m ever that lucky

You won’t have to be so, you won’t have to be so sad

You won’t have to be so sad, you won’t have to be so sad
