I seem to recognize your face

Haunting, familiar, yet I can't seem to place it

Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name

Lifetimes are catching up with me

All these changes taking place, I wish I'd seen the place

But no one's ever taken me

Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away...

Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away...

I swear I recognize your breath

Memories like fingerprints are slowly raising

Me, you wouldn't recall, for I'm not my former

It's hard when, you're stuck upon the shelf

I changed by not changing at all, small town predicts my fate

Perhaps that's what no one wants to see

I just want to scream...hello...

My god its been so long, never dreamed you'd return

But now here you are, and here I am

Hearts and thoughts they fade...away...

Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away...

Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away...

Hearts and thoughts they fade...away

Hearts and thoughts they fade...away

Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I seem to recognize your face

Haunting familiar, yet I can't seem to place it

Cannot find the candle of thought to light your name

Lifetimes are catching up with me

[Pre-Chorus]

All these changes taking place

I wish I'd seen the place

But no one's ever taken me

[Chorus]

Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away

Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away

[Verse 2]

I swear I recognize your breath

Memories, like fingerprints, are slowly raising

Me you wouldn't recall for I'm not my former

It's hard when you're stuck upon the shelf

[Pre-Chorus 2]

I changed by not changing at all

Small town predicts my fate

Perhaps that's what no one wants to see

[Bridge]

I just want to scream, "Hello

My god, it's been so long, never dreamed you'd return

But now here you are, and here I am"

Hearts and thoughts they fade away

[Chorus]

Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away

Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away

Hearts and thoughts they fade away

Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away

Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away

Hearts and thoughts they fade, fade away

Hearts and thoughts they

fade...

About

Genius Annotation

The song reached number 17 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart.

Vedder about “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town”:

It’s kind of about a lady, and she’s getting on in years, and she’s stuck in this small town. Small towns fascinate me: You either struggle like hell to get out, to some people want to stay ‘cause then they’re the big fish in the small pond, and then others just kind of get stuck there. So here she is working in this little place, and then an old flame comes in, and he’s probably driving a nice car and looking kind of sharp—not a fancy car, but he’s moved on. And then she sees him, and at first she doesn’t even remember who he is, and then she realizes who it is. She’s just too embarrassed to say 'hello.’

Eddie himself once stated that these lyrics are not about himself, but about a woman living in a small town. She had this passion with a man in the past. But he left. She lived all her life in this town, where she couldn’t change, except “by not changing at all”, once that the “small town predicts” her faith. Lately, her loved one is back in town, but she as a small town person, is just to embarrassed to “scream hello”. She lived all her life with memories about him. And this is what makes her conclude that “hearts and thoughts they fade away”
