The lyrics are about one of my biggest fears: getting dementia.
Memories fade away
like the rain at the end of the storm
My mind is on decay
Feeling like fallen leaves in autumn
Can’t remember the last time we touched
Can’t remember the last time we talked
Stepping into my slow life
Leaving my old life behind
Stepping into my slow life
Leaving my old life behind
Each day there is new pain
As I try to get up each morning
Each moment like a stain
Each faded memory just a sting
Can’t remember the last time we touched
Can’t remember the last time we talked
Stepping into my slow life
Leaving my old life behind
Stepping into my slow life
Leaving my old life behind
The candle is burning
There is only so much left to burn
Not much time left until
My last breath will leave me forever
Can’t remember the last time we touched
Can’t remember the last time we talked
Stepping into my slow life
Leaving my old life behind
Stepping into my slow life
Leaving my old life behind
