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
Now when he’s in, she’s out

All you ever do is fade away
All you ever do is fade away
They are not making plans
Because now they understand
All you ever do is fade away

He noticed he had visible lines
She worried about her behind
Their birth had been the death of them
It didn’t really bother them
Now when she’s in, he’s out

All you ever do is fade away
All you ever do is fade away
She’s not making plans
Because now she understand
All you ever do is fade away

When he’s in, she’s out

All you ever do is fade away
All you ever do is fade away
They’re not making plans
Because now they understand
You must learn to forget
Cause this is all you have
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
Because now they understand
All you ever do is fade away
All you ever do is fade away
All you ever do is fade away
