Elliott Smith - I Better Be Quiet Now lyrics

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
