Elliott Smith

I Can't Answer You Anymore

Something came from nothing today
While I was saying no

Don't you knock on my door
I can't answer you anymore

Absence makes the heart grow fond
Staying away from people

Was a question before
But I can't answer you anymore

Skip to the scene where we meet
And roll the song
I did everything right for somebody that
Does everything wrong

So I go from coast to coast
Over the hawthorn bridge

To the one I adore
You asked me what I'm looking for
But I can't answer you anymore
No, I can't answer you anymore
