i seem to recognize your face
haunting, familiar, yet i can't seem to place it
cannot find the candle of thought to light your name

lifetimes are catching up with me
all these changes taking place, i wish i'd seen the place
but no one's ever taken me

hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away...
hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away...
i swear i recognize your breath

memories like fingerprints are slowly raising
me, you wouldn't recall, for i'm not my former
it's hard when, you're stuck upon the shelf

i changed by not changing at all, small town predicts my fate
perhaps that's what no one wants to see
i just want to scream...hello...

my god its been so long, never dreamed you'd return
but now here you are, and here i am
hearts and thoughts they fade...away...

hearts and thoughts they fade...away...
hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away...
hearts and thoughts they fade...
