Summer shine, and everything makes a woeful heart to sing,
Chance is better than you think, throw your hat into the ring,
Check your pulse, hope all is well,
Reverse spin on the carousel,
Glitter kids under the radio spell,
The soft voice and the hard sell.

Transparent there, you stagger, fall, and tell her all that matters,
She's not saying, she is fading.

She is fading.

And all of yesterday's parties are hollow, through and through,
You ask me...if you ask me he always took the best of you,
Oh, to hold you once again, wipe away your tears,
You are such a welcome sight in my rear-view mirror.

Transparent there, you stagger, fall, and tell her all that matters,
She's not saying, fading.

Transparent there, you stagger, fall, and tell her all that matters,
She's not saying,
Transparent there, you stagger, fall, and tell her all that matters,
She's not saying, she is...

Fading,
Fading,
Fading,
Fading.
