Oh Well, Okay

Elliott Smith · XO [1998]

Here's the silhouette

the face always turned away

the bleeding color gone to black

dying like a day

couldn't figure out what made you so unhappy

shook your head to say no no no

and stopped for a spell

and stayed that way

oh well, okay



i got pictures, i just don't see it anymore

climbing hour upon hour through a total bore

with the one i keep where it never fades

in the safety of a pitch black mind

an airless cell that blocks the day

oh well, okay



if you a get a feeling the next time you see me

do me a favor and let me know

'cos it's hard to tell

it's hard to say

oh well, okay

oh well, okay

oh well, okay
