Elliott Smith - Going Nowhere lyrics

he waits alone silent like a mime

?? there's no changing my mind

i won't walk her 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

saw you move a certain way

missed you a lot

turn to this (abandoned) ? place

should a been forgot

echoes crowd the conversation out

echoes that that only seem to bring about

a sudden expression

things you ? aloud

going nowhere

the steps made a pattern

i'd never seen

i felt like a kid of six or seventeen

i was off in (self) into 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
