ELLIOTT SMITH - Going Nowhere lyrics

rate me

He waved hello silent like a mime

We met, there's no changing my mind

I won't walk the 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

Return to this abandoned place

Should a been forgot

Echoes drown the conversation out

Echoes that only seem to bring about

A silent expression

Things you may allow

Going nowhere

The steps made a pattern

I'd never seen

I felt like a kid of six or seventeen

I was off in some empty 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
