going nowhere

• new moon'da yeralan bir elliott smith yakarisi. sozlerini de yazayim tam olsun:
  
  he waved hello, silent like a mime
  there's no changing my mind
  i won't walk the stairs with you tonight
  going nowhere
  the clock moved a quarter of a turn
  the time it took a cigarette to burn
  she said, "you got a lot of things to learn"
  going nowhere
  
  saw you move a certain way
  missed you a lot
  return to this abandoned place
  should have been forgot
  echoes drown the conversation out
  echoes that only seem to bring about
  a silent expression
  things you may allow
  going nowhere
  
  the steps made a pattern
  i'd never seen
  i felt like a kid of six or seventeen
  i was off in some empty daydream
  going nowhere
  it's dead and gone, matter of fact
  maybe for the best
  said some things you can't take back
  honestly i guess
  
  the old records
  sitting on the floor
  the ones i can't
  put on anymore
  he walked over to her like before
  going nowhere
  going nowhere
  going nowhere
