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 
All you ever do is fade away 
  
He`s not making plans 
`Cos now they understand 
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 
All you ever do is fade away 
She`s not making plans 
`Cos now she understands 
All you ever do is fade away 
When he`s in 
She`s... 
All you ever do is fade away 
All you ever do is fade away 
They`re not making plans 
`Cos now they understand 
He must learn to forget 
`Cos this is all you`ll ever get 
All you ever do is fade away
