Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
I saw you move a certain way
I missed you a lot
Return to this abandoned place
Should've been forgot
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
It's dead and gone and matter of fact
It may be for the best
You said some things you can't take back
Honestly, I guess
[Verse 3]
The old records are sitting on the floor
The ones I can't put on anymore
He walked over to her like before
[Outro]
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
Going nowhere
