I Better Be Quiet Now

Elliott Smith

5

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 thats 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.
