Elliott Smith - I Better Be Quiet Now

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 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

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 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
