[Verse 1] They stumbled into their lives In a vague way became man and wife One got the other They deserved one another They settled in a brand new town With people from the same background They kept themselves busy Long hours left them dizzy [Pre-Chorus] Now when he's in, she's out [Chorus] All you ever do is fade away All you ever do is fade away He's not making plans Cause now they understand All you ever do is fade away [Verse 2] He noticed he had visible lines She worried about her behind Their birth had been the d**h of them It didn't really bother them [Pre-Chorus] Now when she's in, he's out [Chorus] All you ever do is fade away All you ever do is fade away She's not making plans Cause now they understand All you ever do is fade away [Bridge] When he's in, she's out [Chorus] All you ever do is fade away All you ever do is fade away They're not making plans Cause now they understand He must learn to forget Because this is all you'll ever get All you ever do is fade away All you ever do is fade away All you ever do is fade away They're not making plans Cause now they understand All you ever do is fade away All you ever do is fade away All you ever do is fade away
