Translation
Bilingual
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
And missed you a lot
Return to this abandoned place
It should have been forgot
Echoes drown the conversation out
Echoes that only seem to bring about
A silent expression easy made 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 may be 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
