(timothy b. schmit)
If it seems to you that i am fading
Everytime i try to talk to you
The words i'm speaking distort the view
And then i end up thinkin' what can i do
Now you're slippin' away for a new
Always hoping that the day will come
When i can face it, won't have to run
When all there has been is yet to come
When i don't hide my face from the sun
And i know it's myself it's not you
I can see everything
It's all in your smile that brings
All of the special things about you
If you could feel the way
That i do today we could
Find us a better way to get through
Everytime i climb into your eyes
I get so wasted and hypnotized
But there is one thing you can't disguise
That you're slippin' away for a new
Baby if i could control the time
Then i could stop it and redifine
Just what is real and how i've been so blind
I could put all the words into rhyme
And i know it's myself it's not you
If it seems to you that i am fading
