[Verse 1]
They stumbled into their lives
In a vague way became man and wife
One got the other
They deserved one another

[Verse 2]
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 I want to do is fade away
All I want to do is fade away
He's not making plans, 'cause now he understands
All I want to do is fade away

[Verse 3]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Now when she's in, he's out

[Chorus]
All I want to do is fade away
All I want to do is fade away
She's not making plans, 'cause now she understands
All I want to do is fade away

[Pre-Chorus]
When he's in, she's out

[Chorus]
All I want to do is fade away
All I want to 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 I want to do is fade away
All I want to do is fade away
All I want to do is fade away
They're not making plans, 'cause now they understand
All I want to do is fade away
All I want to do is fade away
All I want to do is fade away
