Lyrics Better Be Quiet Now - Elliott Smith

Better Be Quiet Now

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 would probably be ok,
It wouldn’t be lonely,
I got a long way to go,
I’m getting further away.
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 know,
I’m tired of wasting my breath,
Carrying on, getting upset…
Maybe I have a problem,
But that’s not what I wanted to say,
I 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 his 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,
I’m getting further away.
