Elliott Smith - Go by

go on and parade and fade
hit the scene and slow
spending all your time with some girl
you'll never get to know
wound uptight
dressed all in white
some ?
blowing out to drift
need you even here

you live up in your head
scared of every little noise
someone always breaking in accidently
using nothing but their voice
shrill and small echo down the hall repeating pet names
sitting in your eyes, you're only passing by

go by
go by
go by
go by

someones in the way pretty words and inside slurs
all the things they have to say
to perform the work that they've rehearse it's a waste of time
i put it behind me once and for all
and let the time decline if the problem wasn't mine

go by
go by
go by
go by
go by
go by
go by
go by
