Elliott Smith Is Still Alive

Backseat Goodbye
I don't mind this place,
It's all in the way you say, "I'm gone"
What I mean is, please, take me with you
I'll keep the sky, you take the river bend
I'm so sorry, I give up again
Everybody's so lonely lately
I don't need a damn book to save me
So celebrated, but I think I hate it now
I never said I'd be the one
To figure out that something's wrong
It's the end of the world
And all anyone can think about's themselves
All my friends and all my towns
Are just here till I hit the ground
I guess I'm better, I'm better, I'm better off loving myself
The new years turn me into good thing
What's with all my dreams disappearing?
I think I'm going crazy, and I mean it this time
Maybe we should close our eyes and live forever
Set sail, to hell with all the lonely songs
Lately I don't care if anybody hears me,
I just want shout until the sun goes down
Give me something new to believe in,
I don't care how real it is
A year, a hundred thousand seasons,
Anything, anything, anything other than this
The storms came in waves, for an ending that was perfect
I know I never make sense,
One day I'll prove I'm worth it, I'm worth it
We swore we saw angels, turns out they were only planes
The towers fell so bravely, we wondered if we were real
Twenty years is all it took for me to just get over it
The fact that forever's a lie, and me, I'm only human
But I'll be the first to say, don't trust the sky or gravity
I'll learn to fly if I want to, just let me grab my cape
