Top 20 Elliott Smith Lyric Quotes

Elliott is my favorite lyricist, and this was a monumentally difficult list to craft. I'm sure I've forgotten some golden quotes here, and many songs had multiple lyrics that could have been selected for inclusion. For diversity's sake I only allowed one quote per song. Please share your favorite Elliott lyrics in the comments!
