[Verse 1]
I seem to recognize your face
Haunting familiar, yet I can't seem to place it
Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name
Lifetimes are catchin' up with me

[Pre-Chorus 1]
All these changes takin' place, I wish I'd seen the place
But no one's ever taken me

[Chorus]
Hearts and thoughts, they fade, fade away
Hearts and thoughts, they fade, fade away

[Verse 2]
I swear I recognize your breath
Memories, like fingerprints, are slowly raisin'
Me, you wouldn't recall, for I'm not my former
It's hard when you're stuck upon the shelf

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I changed by not changin' at all, small town predicts my fate
Perhaps that's what no one wants to see

[Bridge]
I just wanna scream, "Hello!
My god, it's been so long, never dreamed you'd return
But now here you are, and here I am"
Hearts and thoughts, they fade away
[Chorus]
Hearts and thoughts, they fade, fade away
Hearts and thoughts, they fade, fade away
Hearts and thoughts, they fade away
Hearts and thoughts, they fade, fade away
Hearts and thoughts, they fade, fade away
Hearts and thoughts, they fade, fade away
Hearts and thoughts, they fade…
