Fade

When did drifting turn from freedom into feeling lost?
When did I start stopping to calculate? To manipulate?
To wonder am I too late?
To want you. To be with you. To need you to. To fall asleep beside you.
I dream about you. I can't be without you. But I can't be all about you this time.

Consider happiness, because you're going to make a mess of this
By falling backwards into love again.
You can live what you decide. Your contentment should come from inside.
You don't want her you just think you do.
And anyway some day she'd leave you too. Like they always do.
You should stay away, 'cause these things always fade away.

When did love stop coming easy? When did your heart close the door?
On the journey, and the beauty, and the feeling of my heart reaching out and touching yours.
To want you. To be with you.
I can't be all about you, but I just can't stop these dreams about you.
Is there an answer? Can there be sanity in wanting me the way I want you?

Consider happiness, because you're making quite a mess of me.
I'm falling backwards into love again.
And hoping you might catch my fall so I don't have to lose it all again.
You don't want me I just think you do.
And anyway some day you'd leave me too. Like they always do.
Some things never change and these things always fade away.

Road is winding back again
Back to the place it all began.
This heart is open, fire from ember.
What hurt before it can't remember.
There's only you, that smile, those eyes,
I know I've got to make you mine.
I've got to make you mine.

I don't want you I just think I do and anyway some day you'd leave me too.
These things always fade.
I can't be all about you but I just can't stop these dreams about you.
But I know. I know that some day this will fade.
These things always fade away.
