One day I'll get older
Then it will be over
Want to live a long life
Like there is no next time

(Who knows how long after today
Life is too short to fade away)

I've heard a million stories
Some self explanatory
But then the words fade into gray
Take from the final pages
Whatever is contagious
Then make it all just fade away
Fade, fade...

Each day I get older
Get a little colder
I don't need to fit in
Like I did way back then

(Who knows how long after today
Life is too short to fade away)

I've heard a million stories
Some self explanatory
But then the words fade into gray
Take from the final pages
Whatever is contagious
Then make it all just fade away
Fade, fade...
