Lyrics

FADE AWAY

THE PETALS FALL WITHOUT A SOUND
AND SLOWLY MELT INTO THE GROUND
AND THEN THE RAIN FALLS AND WASHES EVERYTHING AWAY
ANOTHER SEASON'S TURNED ASIDE
THE LEAVES HAVE FALLEN DOWN TO DRY
AND WE'RE BOTH STANDING HERE, AS THE SKY TURNS GRAY
WE BOTH KNOW THERE'S NO OTHER WAY

Chorus:
I HEAR YOU CALL MY NAME
AND IT DOESN'T SOUND THE SAME
IT'S DYING LIKE A FLAME THAT HAS FADED AWAY

CHILDREN GROW AND THEN THEY STRAY
OTHERS TRY BUT HAVE TO STAY
IT'S HARD TO WANDER FROM A PLACE CALLED HOME
AND WHEN THEY GO THEY LEAVE BEHIND
THE REMNANTS OF A CARE-FREE MIND
AND FACE THE WORLD, FEELING MORE AND MORE ALONE
AND WE BOTH KNOW THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME

Chorus plus:
AND AS I WATCH YOU GO, I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW
THAT I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I WOULD SEE THIS FADE AWAY

TIME, TIME IS TICKING LIKE A REAL BOMB
BUT WE WON'T LET OUR LITTLE WORLD EXPLODE
WE CAN TAKE PRIDE IN WHERE WE STAND
AS WE'RE STANDING AT THIS FORK IN THE ROAD

THE CLIMB IS HIGH, THE RIVER DEEP
AS I LET GO, I'M ON MY FEET
BUT WAS IT WORTH IT, TO TOSS EVERYTHING ASIDE
TO PUT US ON A WINNING TEAM
IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ANOTHER DREAM
AND NOW I KNOW THAT WE WILL BOTH SURVIVE
AND WE BOTH KNOW IT'S GOOD TO FEEL ALIVE

Repeat Chorus
