Voli Contra - Fade Away lyrics

Damn hey how you doing? Long time no see

Small town girl, big city dreams
Always driven
You were livin' in that limousine
It's kinda random how I ran into her
She had that same college body had
To hand it to her
The wine section of the liquor
Store of all places
Was a regular there just short
Of being a store favorite
Now ain't it funny how lately I’ve
Been thinking about the old days
And there she was
A rose picking out some rosé
I used to polish that Bacardi
At the frat party
At 3 am I’d visit her in front the dormitory
And talk about life, we did it all the time
And there was something there but I
Could never cross the line
Her roommate had a man so she was never there
And suddenly the rum had me feeling debonair
Our bodies rubbing tight
Clothes coming loose
We did something we should never do

'Cause then things changed man, uh huh
'Cause then things changed, left in pain
'Cause we knew deep down things
Would never be the same

Yeah, you see those lights
Cameras, action, play the movies of our lives
(Lives) the scene gon' fade away (Fade away)
Fade away (Fade away) , fade away (Uh)
I wonder if we should have paused?
I wonder if we would have gone farther?
Instead we fade away fade away, fade away

Small town girl with a very big problem
Coming her way, baby
Young dumb boy but a smart-ass
Never learned to act his age, baby
Next morning brunch was a little awkward
Quiet, now we’re missing the
Comfort of even talkin'
Jealousy and unreturned phone calls
Then I get the IM
That’s when it all goes wrong
Funny how the world keeps spinnin'
Even when I stand still and the
World keeps livin' their lives
She told me she was three weeks pregnant
She could barely speak each sentence
Head spinning, vertigo
Floor turning vertical
Thought the sex was worth it
Though assumed she had the birth control
Honestly my first reaction told me to deny it
But there’s honesty in pain
I saw it streaming from her eyelids
Sometimes I think I might have been
A better man to marry her
Went from academic plans
To Unplanned Parenthood
Planned parenthood, something in her died
Not just the baby
It was something in her eyes

'Cause then things changed damn, for real?
'Cause then things changed, left in pain
'Cause we knew deep down things
Would never be the same

Yeah, you see those lights
Cameras, action, play the movies of our lives
(Lives) the scene gon' fade away (Fade away)
Fade away (Fade away) , fade away (Uh)
I wonder if we should have paused?
I wonder if we would have gone farther?
Instead we fade away (Uh)
Fade away, fade away (Uh)

Fast forward five years
I’m at the store to buy beer and
It's awkward but we both act cordial
To hide the fear of the pain, always wondered
If she’d changed her demeanor was the same
She said she was engaged almost done
At St james for her residency
Told her I was teaching
Mathematics at an elementary
Congratulations then we both parted ways
Into the night where the scenes seem to fade

'Cause they just fade
Yeah, in life they just fade left in pain
'Cause we knew deep down things
Would never be the same

Yeah, you see those lights
Cameras, action, play the movies of our lives
(Lives) the scene gon' fade away (Fade away)
Fade away (Fade away) , fade away (Uh)
I wonder if we should have paused?
I wonder if we would have gone farther?
Instead we fade away fade away, fade away
