A Man-Me-Then Jim - 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
