Elliott Smith I Figured You Out Lyrics

I Figured You Out Lyrics

seen you watching
her every time she crosses the floor
so just go and talk to
someone you really adore
i`m getting pretty used to being
the one you always ignore
when somebody wants you
i`ve seen it before

you`re every kind of color
there ain`t nothing that you won`t claim
your ambition and promise
and your addiction to fame
and everyone`s got a dollar
sign after their name
when somebody wants you
you treat `em just the same

so go on and pick up
you don`t care what poison you choose
or what person you`ll use
should`ve been me, yeah
shouldn`t it be?

crushing quiet
crawls in through your window
from someone who wants you
but you`ll never know
i`ll pick up around you
clear everything out
leave you where i found you
i figured you out
