i better be quiet now

Singer:elliott smith

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 okay

it wouldn't be lonely

i got a long way to go

i'm 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

and getting upset

maybe i got 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 were 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
