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 (2)
HE'S NOT MAKING PLANS BECAUSE NOW HE UNDERSTANDS
(THAT) 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 (2)
SHE'S NOT MAKING PLANS BECAUSE NOW SHE UNDERSTANDS
(THAT) ALL YOU EVER DO IS FADE AWAY
WHEN HE'S IN SHE CRIES
ALL YOU EVER DO IS FADE AWAY (2)
THEY'RE NOT MAKING PLANS BECAUSE NOW THEY UNDERSTAND
WE MUST NOT FORGET
BECAUSE THIS IS ALL YOU'LL EVER GET.
