[Verse 1] I want to hold the hand inside you I want to take a breath that's true I look to you and I see nothing I look to you to see the truth You live your life, you go in shadows You'll come apart and you'll go blind Some kind of night into your darkness Colors your eyes with what's not there [Chorus] Fade into you Strange you never knew Fade into you I think it's strange you never knew [Guitar Solo] [Verse 2] A stranger's light comes on slowly A stranger's heart without a home You put your hands into your head And then its smiles cover your heart [Chorus] Fade into you Strange you never knew Fade into you I think it's strange you never knew Fade into you Strange you never knew Fade into you I think it's strange you never knew I think it's strange you never knew
