"Fading On Me" lyrics

When I was young, I knew everything
And I always knew that I was a fool
She was a perfect page of poetry
Standing right there in my living room

Oh, but that's such a long time
Bad scenes play in my mind
While I dream of how you once held on to me, yeah

Stop fading, stop fading on me
Stop fading, stop fading on me
It's getting dark, and throwing sparks, and I'm already on my knees
Stop fading, stop fading on me

How could I ever stand next to you
Looking like a wolfman on your arm?
I've always been a little bit of a lunatic
Oh, maybe that's part of the charm

Oh, but how slow the night goes
In dreams where I'm a low ghost
And you smile with your brown skin in the sun

And stop fading, stop fading on me
Stop fading, stop fading on me
Either cure me, or kill me, but don't leave me here to bleed, baby
Stop fading, now, stop fading on me

Now I can't conjure a smile
And it hurts too much to breathe
And I hear you in the wind
Blowing softly through the trees
Ah, like the, like the spirits in the summertime, baby
All around me
Ah, yeah, like the spirits in the summertime
Dancing, dancing around me

Now, stop fading, stop fading on me
Stop fading, stop fading on me
Cure me, or kill me, but don't leave me here to bleed
Now, stop fading, stop fading on me

Stop fading, stop fading on me
Stop fading, stop fading on me
Stop fading, stop fading on me
Stop fading, stop fading on me
Stop fading, stop fading on me
Stop fading, stop fading on me
