lyrics

I know there’s a time and place for everything,
but if you don’t know how to live right now,
you won’t have anything, I know.
You were a good kid with a dream
and a plan.

But you’re stuck here playing Smash.

Yeah that’s fine,
you’re twenty-nine
but I fell for you at twenty-two.
And you keep setting free,
all these thoughts of me
in the corners of your head,
I’m walking around with a pair of scissors in my nightgown.
That dream still scares you, right?
To wake up at night and think of me?

You must be pretty lonely.

Well it’s hard to begin,
when you’ve lived life again.
Well it’s true,
if it would help you,
I once, and I do, love you.

I remember when we’d ride our bikes
with nowhere to go, in the middle of night
Maybe we’d find a cafe
That was all we needed, all we needed to try

You’d bring your umbrella,
it caught the wind, and you looked so upset
but I laughed, the charm of you thrusting,
your grimace, as gusts of wind blew you back, well alright

Do you think that I’d never seen,
or told no one your wildest dreams?
My dad still asks about you,
he hopes that you’re okay, too.

It’s hard to begin when
you’ve lived life again
yeah, four names and six places can get tiring
but I’ve loved you so long
please try to belong
I may not be here, but you still aren’t gone

I wonder about how you’ve been since then
You wonder about me too, well, I bet
I never was good at these classes,
I would take all your notes, but we live in new towns now…

You were going to be a lawyer,
or was it a writer? Or was it a fireman?
Well, I knew that you’d do what you needed to,
I know you’d believe in you.

Do you think you’ll call me this time?
Do you think you’ll try to reconnect our lines?
I know it’s a bad time, I know it’s
been far too long … far too long, so alone.

It’s hard to begin when
you’ve lived life again
yeah, four names and six places can get tiring
but I’ve loved you so long
please try to belong
I may not be here, but you still aren’t gone

“Have you taken up sewing?”
“Have you tried doing yoga?”
“Have you made any friends?”
Will you see another human again?

Now another one is in this house
Another psychology you can’t live without
And when it’s gone, it’s gone
You can’t remember what you were when alone

No one’s seen you around for days
I can’t help but feel that I’ve been replaced
by the thought of what I am to you,
tending the wounded parts of you

So let go, oh let go!
Just let fade me away…

Do you still shoplift groceries?
Have you no sense to try?
Maybe it’s just your lifestyle
It’s not a case of bad faith
I know there's not much left to say
Just let me fade away

Just let me fade away
