As It Fades

I won’t try to change your mind
That’s what we say
Your life is different from mine
And things don’t stay
And it gets easier in time
And we’ll be OK
I just wanna hold your hand as it fades

Took me by the hand
Put me in a trance
Some kind of fairyland
And a life of love lived in advance
And we’re older now
We’ve got real-life problems to solve

I won’t try to change your mind
That’s what we say
Your life is different from mine
And things don’t stay
And it gets easier in time
And we’ll be OK
I just wanna hold your hand as it fades

You say the moment’s gone
The answers take too long
But tell me what you want
’Cause this heart’s not built for moving on
And it’s over now
I’ve got more time to be alone

I won’t try to change your mind
That’s what we say
Your life is different from mine
And things don’t stay
And it gets easier in time
And we’ll be OK
I just wanna hold your hand as it fades
