Lyrics Elliott Smith – Going Nowhere
Text:
He waved hello silent like a mime
We met, there’s no changing my mind
I won’t walk the stairs with you tonight
Going nowhere
The clock moved a quarter of a turn
The time it took a cigarette to burn
She said you got a lot of things to learn
Going nowhere
The time it took a cigarette to burn
She said you got a lot of things to learn
Going nowhere
Saw you move a certain way
Missed you a lot
Return to this abandoned place
Should a been forgot
Echoes drown the conversation out
Echoes that only seem to bring about
A silent expression
Things you may allow
Going nowhere
The steps made a pattern
I’d never seen
I felt like a kid of six or seventeen
I was off in some empty day dream
Going nowhere
It’s dead and gone matter of fact
Maybe for the best
Said some things you can’t take back
Honestly i guess
The old records
Sitting on the floor
The ones i can’t
Put on anymore
He walked over to her like before
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
