Elliott Smith - I Better Be Quiet Now lyrics

Wish you gave me a number

Wish I could call you today

Just to hear a voice.

I got a long way to go

Getting further away.

If I didn't know the difference

Living alone would probably be ok.

It wouldn't be lonely.

I got a long way to go

Getting further away.

A lot of hours to occupy it was easy

When I didn't know you yet

Things I'd have to forget.

But I better be quiet now

I'm tired of wasting my breath

Carrying ongetting upset.

Maybe I have a problem

But thats not what I wanted to say.

I prefer to say nothing.

I got a long way to go

Getting further away.

Had a dream as an army man with an order

Just to march in my place

But a dead enemy

Screams in my face

But I better be quiet now

I'm tired of wasting my breath

Carrying onnot over it yet.

Wish I knew what you were doing.

Why you want to do it this way.

So I can't go the distance

I got a long way to go

I'm getting further away.

I got a long way to go

Getting further away.
