Going Nowhere

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
