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 1]
I Gsaw you Dmove a Fcertain Cway Dm
I missed Amyou a Flot
ReGturn to Dthis abFandoned CplacDme
Should've Ambeen Gforgot

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 Gdead and Dgone and Fmatter of Cfact Dm
It may beAm for the Fbest
You Gsaid some Dthings you Fcan't take Cback Dm
HonestlyAm, I Gguess

The old records are sitting on the floor
The ones I can't put on anymore
He walked over to her like before
