Elliott Smith Almost Over song lyrics

You think I'm unkind

But people aren't the way you think they are

They can't remember all the time

What it was you wanted

They paint you out in straight silhouette

Don't you get the picture yet?

Why you getting all upset?

The worst part's almost over

Three's such a crowd

You ought to tell me what you tell yourself

You ever going to speak it aloud?

Do I have to guess like everyone else?

With an iron will to walk the walk

And a glass jaw that can't be moved to talk

Black eyes always watch the clock

The worst part's almost over

You let yourself be frozen by a doubt

You think I'm mean because I call you out

You don't know what you're about

The worst part's almost over now

The worst part's almost over now, now, now
