Going Nowhere

He waved hello, silent like a mime
Meaning '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 her cigarette to burn
She said «You got a lot of things to learn»
Going nowhere
I saw you move a certain way
I missed you a lot
Return to this abandoned place
Should’ve been forgot
Echoes drown the conversation out
Echoes that only seem to bring about
A silent expression, easy read-aloud
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 and- matter of fact
It maybe for the best
You said some things you can’t take back
Honestly, I guess
The old records are 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
