歌曲名 A Man / Me / Then Jim

歌手名 Rilo Kiley

I had one friend in high school

Recently he hung himself with string

His note said If living is the problem

Well that's just baffling

And at the wake I waited around

To see my ex first love

And I barely recognized her

But I knew exactly what she was thinking of

We sat quietly in the corner

Whispering close about loss

And I remembered why I loved her

And I asked her why I drove her off

She said The slow fade of love

It's soft edge might cut you

And our poor friend Jim well

He just lived within

The slow fade of love

A woman calls my house once a week

She's always selling things

Some charity a phone plan

Or a subscription to a magazine

And as I turned her down I always do

There was something trembling in her voice

I said Hey what troubles you

She said I'm surprised you noticed

Well my husband he's a-leaving

And I can't convince him to stay

And he'll take our daughter with him

She wants to go with him anyway

I'm sorry I'm hard to live with

Living is the problem for me

I'm selling people things they don't want

And I don't know what you need

He said The slow fade of love

And it's mist might choke you

It's my gradual descent into a life

I never meant

It's the slow fade of love

I was driving south from Melrose

I happened upon my old lover's old house

I found myself staring at the closed up door

Like the day she threw me out

Diana Diana Diana I would die for you

I'm in love with you completely

I'm afraid that's all I can do

She said You can sleep upon my doorstep

You can promise me indifference Jim

But my mind is made up

And I'll never let you in again

For the slow fade of love

It might hit you from below

It's your gradual descent into a life

You never meant

It's the slow fade of love

It's the slow fade of love

It's the slow fade of love

It's the slow fade of love

It's the slow fade of love

It's the slow fade of love

It's the slow fade of love

It's the slow fade of love

It's the slow fade of love
