ELLIOTT SMITH - Alameda lyrics

rate me

You walk down alameda shuffling your deck of trick cards over everyone

Like some precious only son

Face downbow to the champion

You walk down alameda looking at the cracks in the sidewalk

Thinking about your friends

How you maintain all them in a constant state of suspense

For your own protection over their affection

Nobody broke your heart

You broke your own because you can't finish what you start

Walk down alameda brushing off the nightmare you wish

Could plague me when I'm awake

And now you see your first mistake was thinking that you could relate

For one or two minutes she liked you

But the fix is in

You're all pretension

I never pay attention

Nobody broke your heart

You broke your own because you can't finish what you start

Nobody broke your heart

You broke your own because you can't finish what you start

Nobody broke your heart

You broke your own because you can't finish what you start

Nobody broke your heart

If you're alone it must be you that wants to be apart
