Better Be Quiet Now - Elliott Smith

Wish you gave me your number

Wish I could call you today

Just to hear a voice,

I got a long way to go,

I’m 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,

I’m getting further away.

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 know,

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,

I’m getting further away.

Had a dream as an army man

With an order just to march in his 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,

I’m getting further away.
