[Chorus]
I didn't know things were supposed to be this way
I wasn't told of this before
But had I known about this fall for some time
Maybe I, I could've been or should have known
I once was dropped among this crowd
I didn't know things were supposed to be this way
No one ever told me this before
"It's all right" was all I heard
"This will blow away, away, away from me"

[Bridge]
And it fades from my mind
It's gone and left behind
As we age, each day flies by
Still I don't know why
And it's fading fast
And how could we make this last?
And it's fading fading fast
And all things must pass, I guess

[Chorus]
I didn't know things were supposed to be this way
No one ever told me this before
"It's all right" was all I heard
"This will blow away"
