I Better Be Quiet Now
Elliott Smith
Figure 8 (2000)

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'd probably be ok
it wouldn't be lonely
i got a long way to go
i'm getting further away
alot 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 and getting upset
maybe i have a problem, but that's not what i wanted to say
i'd 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 my place
while 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're doing
and 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
