Jackson Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's what you do, it's where you are
I watch your lips, and I feel your touch
It's been a while, since i've seen you in here
It's been too long, oh it's been too long

On a lonely Saturday, it all just fades
It all just fades away, and fades to gray
on a lonely Saturday, it all just fades

It all just fades away, and fades to gray

cuz where you've been and what you are, there's nothing inbetween
cuz all the things i've seen, oh its tearing me apart
spent too many lies sitting by the phone, waiting all alone, for your call

On a lonely Saturday, it all just fades
It all just fades away, and fades to gray
On a lonely Saturday, it all just fades
It all just fades and fades away

yeahahhhh....
