Here I am rollin' sixty-five again

Static on the radio, fading out, and fading back in

Just like we do, we say that we're through

Then we find a way back to where we left off like nothing was wrong

The flame will burn for awhile but it won't last long 'til we

Go through the motions, and we drown in the oceans

Trying to get back to what this was, before we left it in the dust

Then we, get back to the basics

When it don't work then we chase it

Like there's something to chase

Girl we're fading away

Yeah, we're fading away

The picture on my dashboard is making it hard

To keep the thought of you out of my head and not wonder where you are

I can give in and drive back to you

But we both know what that's going to lead to, when you

Go through the motions, and we drown in the oceans

Trying to get back to what this was, before we left it in the dust

And we get back to the basics

And when it don't work then we chase it

Like there's something to chase

Girl we're fading away

Yeah, we're fading away

And I know it's just a matter of time

Before we light it all up just for one more night

Then we burn that bridge back down by the sunrise

We go through the motions, and we drown in the oceans

Trying to get back to what this was, before we left it in the dust

And we get back to the basics

And when it don't work then we chase it

Like there's something to chase

Girl we're fading away

Yeah, we're fading away, oh

Yeah, we're fading away

We're fading away
