"Go By"
"Go By" is off Elliott Smiths´ album New Moon, released May 2007. Most of the songs on the album was songs produced during Elliott´s years with Kill Rock Stars, 1994-1997, in which I find to be his most fabulous period.
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
Unfortuntely, I couldn´t find the exact version Elliott sings on New Moon, but you ought to have a listen to an earlier version off sweetadeline.net:
