Elliott Smith - Figure 8

Better Be Quiet Now

Wish you gave me your 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 probably be okay
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 on, getting upset

Maybe I have a problem
But that's 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 on, not 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
