[00:48.052]Damn
[00:58.292]Hey
[01:00.643]How you doing?
[01:03.438]Long time no see
[01:06.495]Small town girl, big city dreams
[01:09.316]Always driven, you were livin' in that limousine
[01:12.163]It's kinda random how I ran into her
[01:14.357]She had that same college body. had to hand it to her
[01:17.179]The wine section of the liquor store of all places
[01:19.974]Was a regular there. just short of being a store favorite
[01:23.265]Now ain't it funny how lately I’ve been thinking about the old days
[01:26.975]And there she was, a rose picking out some rosé
[01:29.926]I used to polish that Bacardi at the frat party
[01:32.957]At 3 a.m I’d visit her in front the dormitory
[01:36.013]And talk about life, we did it all the time
[01:38.965]And there was something there but I could never cross the line
[01:42.047]Her roommate had a man so she was never there
[01:44.921]And suddenly the rum had me feeling debonair
[01:47.925]Our bodies rubbing tight, clothes coming loose
[01:51.033]We did something we should never do
[01:53.097]'Cause then things changed
[01:56.624]Man, uh-huh
[01:59.131]'Cause then things changed, left in pain
[02:02.057]'Cause we knew deep down things would never be the same
[02:06.472]Yeah, you see those lights
[02:07.700]Cameras, action, play the movies of our lives (Lives)
[02:13.290]The scene gon' fade away (Fade away)
[02:15.615]Fade away (Fade away), fade away (Uh)
[02:19.193]I wonder if we should have paused?
[02:22.197]I wonder if we would have gone farther?
[02:25.358]Instead we fade away
[02:27.500]Fade away, fade away
[02:30.531]Small town girl with a very big problem
[02:33.639]Coming her way, baby
[02:36.434]Young dumb boy but a smart-ass
[02:38.733]Never learned to act his age, baby
[02:42.547]Next morning brunch was a little awkward
[02:44.715]Quiet, now we’re missing the comfort of even talkin'
[02:48.529]Jealousy and unreturned phone calls
[02:51.167]Then I get the IM, that’s when it all goes wrong
[02:54.537]Funny how the world keeps spinnin'
[02:56.575]Even when I stand still and the world keeps livin' their lives
[03:00.676]She told me she was three weeks pregnant
[03:03.105]She could barely speak each sentence
[03:06.214]Head spinning, vertigo, floor turning vertical
[03:08.774]Thought the sex was worth it, though assumed she had the birth control
[03:11.961]Honestly my first reaction told me to deny it
[03:14.547]But there’s honesty in pain, I saw it streaming from her eyelids
[03:17.812]Sometimes I think I might have been a better man to marry her
[03:20.764]Went from academic plans to Unplanned Parenthood
[03:23.846]Planned parenthood, something in her died
[03:26.668]Not just the baby, it was something in her eyes
[03:29.019]'Cause then things changed
[03:32.597]Damn, for real?
[03:35.079]'Cause then things changed, left in pain
[03:38.188]'Cause we knew deep down things would never be the same
[03:42.524]Yeah, you see those lights
[03:43.595]Cameras, action, play the movies of our lives (Lives)
[03:49.316]The scene gon' fade away (Fade away)
[03:51.510]Fade away (Fade away), fade away (Uh)
[03:55.167]I wonder if we should have paused?
[03:58.250]I wonder if we would have gone farther?
[04:01.228]Instead we fade away (Uh)
[04:03.709]Fade away, fade away (Uh)
[04:07.001]Fast forward five years
[04:08.568]I’m at the store to buy beer and its awkward but we both act cordial
[04:12.304]To hide the fear of the pain, always wondered
[04:14.681]If she’d changed her demeanor was the same
[04:16.927]She said she was engaged almost done at St. James for her residency
[04:21.002]Told her I was teaching mathematics at an elementary
[04:24.033]Congratulations then we both parted ways
[04:26.593]Into the night where the scenes seem to fade
[04:29.100]'Cause they just fade
[04:32.627]Yeah, in life they just fade
[04:36.806]Left in pain
[04:38.008]'Cause we knew deep down things would never be the same
[04:42.449]Yeah, you see those lights
[04:43.651]Cameras, action, play the movies of our lives (Lives)
[04:49.293]The scene gon' fade away (Fade away)
[04:51.461]Fade away (Fade away), fade away (Uh)
[04:55.118]I wonder if we should have paused?
[04:58.122]I wonder if we would have gone farther?
[05:01.231]Instead we fade away
[05:03.321]Fade away, fade away
