[intro instrumental guitars solo , 24 bars ] [Verse] Walking along dusty roads Looking for horned toads With the sun on my face Thinking about people from the past Memories that never last When you're young and naive [Chorus] Because everything fades away Yes, everything fades away The sun, the moon, the stars in space Our beautiful mistakes Yes, everything fades away Yes, everything fades away The tears, the fears, the hopes we chase The time we waste Everything fades away [Verse 2] There are no footprints in the sand No trace of where I am I'm just a ghost in this town Sometimes I feel guilty I wonder if you feel the same And if you still say my name [Chorus] Because everything fades away Yes, everything fades away The sun, the moon, the stars in space Our beautiful mistakes Yes, everything fades away Yes, everything fades away The tears, the fears, the hopes we chase The time we waste Everything fades away [Bridge] But if you see me Remember me like this When I was young and naive Because everything fades away [Chorus] Yes, everything fades away The sun, the moon, the stars in space Our beautiful mistakes Yes, everything fades away Yes, everything fades away The tears, the fears, the hopes we chase The time we waste [Outro ] Everything fades away... friendships, girlfriends... everything fades away... time shows no mercy... no... no... no... and I'm no visionary with the gift of foresight... but it's just a... realization ... a bitter realization ... Yes, everything fades away The tears, the fears, the hopes we chase The time we waste Everything fades away... la-la-la-la-la-la-la la-la-la la-la-la-la-la-la-la la-la-la
