I was stuck at Sticky's on a Friday in July All my friends were somewhere else They never wondered why A crowded table near me Was probably feeling tight So I stayed in the corner And I think I drank all night The less that you can see me The less I have to say But if it's up to me I'll fade away I was reminiscing with the one that got away But my heart just dropped And my mouth just stopped There was nothing else to say I could see right through her As the truth fell from the sky
And the walls around came crashing down And the future drifted by The more that you can see me The less I have to say But if it's up to me I'll fade away More than one way to skin a dog You say who's had his day So take my hand and come With me and we'll fade away Raindrops on the windshield Headlights in your eyes In another lonely city On another sleepless night The more that you see through me The less I have to say But if it's up to me, I'll fade away
