If it seems to you that I am fading
Every time I try to talk to you
The words I'm speaking distort the view
And then I end up thinkin' what can I do
Now you're slippin' away for a new
Always hoping that the day will come
When I can face it, won't have to run
When all there has been is yet to come
When I don't hide my face from the sun, and I know it's myself it's not you
I can see everything, it's all in your smile that brings
All of the special things about you
If you could feel the way that I do today we could
Find us a better way to get through
Every time I climb into your eyes
I get so wasted and hypnotized
But there is one thing you can't disguise
That you're slippin' away for a new
Baby if I could control the time
Then I could stop it and redefine
Just what is real and how I've been so blind
I could put all the words into rhyme,
and I know it's myself it's not you
I can see everything, it's all in your smile that brings
All of the special things about you
If you could feel the way that I do today we could
Find us a better way to get through
If it seems to you that I am fading
