Rilo Kiley - A Man-Me-Then Jim

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
Its 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
a subscription to a magazine
And as i turned her down (i always do)
there was something
trembling in her voice.
what troubles you
She said
I said hey
i'm surprised you noticed.
Well, my husband, he's 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
but living is the problem for me
I'm selling people things
they don't want
when i don't know what you need
He said, "the slow fade of love
And its 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 of melrose
When i happened upon my old
lover's old house.
I found myself staring
at the closed oak 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.
Baby, it's the slow fade of love.
Slow fade of love.
