I Better Be Quiet Now
Elliott Smith
[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
If I didn't know the difference
Living alone would probably be okay
It wouldn't be lonely
I got a long way to go, I'm getting further away

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
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

[Verse 4]
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
