I was stuck at Sticky's on a Friday in July
All my friends were somewhere else
They never wondered why
A crowded table near me
Was probably feeling tight
So I stayed in the corner
And I think I drank all night
The less that you can see me
The less I have to say
But if it's up to me I'll fade away
I was reminiscing with the one that got away
But my heart just dropped
And my mouth just stopped
There was nothing else to say
I could see right through her
As the truth fell from the sky
And the walls around came crashing down
And the future drifted by
The more that you can see me
The less I have to say
But if it's up to me I'll fade away
More than one way to skin a dog
You say who's had his day
So take my hand and come
With me and we'll fade away
Raindrops on the windshield
Headlights in your eyes
In another lonely city
On another sleepless night
The more that you see through me
The less I have to say
But if it's up to me, I'll fade away
