Rilo Kiley - A Man/Me/Then Jim Lyrics
i had one friend in high school recently hung himself with stringhis note said if living is the problem, well that's just bafflingand after the wake i waited around to see my ex-first loveand i barely recognized herbut i knew exactly what she was thinking ofwe sat quietly in the corner whispering close about lossand i remembered why i loved herand i asked her why i drove her offshe said "the slow fade of loveits soft edge might cut youand our poor friend jim,well he just lived withinthe slow fade of love"a woman calls my house once a weekshe's always selling thingssome charity, a phone plan, a subscription to a magazineand as i turned her down (i always do)there's something trembling in her voicei said "hey what troubles you?"she said "i'm surprised you noticed...well my husband, he's leaving, and i can't convince him to stayand he'll take our daughter with himshe wants to go with him anywayi'm sorry i'm hard to live with,living is the problem for mei'm selling people things they don't wantwhen i don't know what you need"he said "the slow fate of loveand its mist might choke youit's my gradual descent into a life i never meantit's the slow fade of love"i was driving south of Melroseas i happened upon my old lover's housei found myself staring at the closed up doorlike the day she threw me outdiana, diana, diana, i would die for youi'm in love with you completely, i'm afraid that's all i can doshe 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 loveit might hit you from belowit's your gradual descent into a life you never meantit's the slow fade of loveit's the slow fade of loveit's the slow fade of loveit's the slow fade of lovebaby, it's the slow fade of loveit's the slow fade of loveit's the slow fade of loveit's the slow fade of loveslow fade of loveit's the slow fade of love
