He waved hello silent like a mime We met, 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 I saw you move a certain way I missed you a lot Return to this abandoned place It 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 in a matter of fact It maybe for the best He said some things you can't take back Honestly I guess The old records were 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
