Go By (Live) Lyrics

Lyric discussion by ferdinand 

Cover art for Go By (Live) lyrics by Elliott Smith

I'm pretty sure it's about hes period in the mental house...

"Spending all your time with some girl" nure may b or other patient

"Wound up tight Dressed all in white Some torment saint"

mmm...

"You live up in your head Scared of every little noise Someone's always breaking in accidentally Using nothing but their voice"

mm...

"Shrill and small Echo down the hall Repeating pet names"

the hall of the hospital and reapiting pet names cos they'r psycho

"It's a waste of time I put it behind me Once and for all And let the hype decline If the problem wasn't mine"

i think what he was trying to say its that he must be putting out from his head that he's like the other psycho in there...

this is what i think :p
