About This Song


Written and recorded a long time ago when I was in a band. The song is really just about loving someone warts and all. In this case, someone who has become a shell of their former selves.

I like your voice.  Is there anything cool about the girl?

There wasn’t an actual Jane.  I was single at the time and went out a lot.  It was more a conglomeration of women I saw out who were wonderful human beings sober, but didn’t handle being drunk very well.  Over time I just saw them as being diminished people and wrote about it.

You're the Queen of Karaoke
but just don't see
Baby, please don't sing
there's nobody listening

I'm a man with a condition
I'm in love your light
Baby, bring down the lights
you've got no audience tonight

I'm in love with a wasted girl, Faded Jane
Standing on the stage of the world, Faded Jane
I'm in love with a wasted girl, Faded Jane
Standing on the stage of the world, Faded Jane

You say you're the type of person
who never falls in love
What kind of man does that make me?
What kind kind of fool would replace me?

In the lounge of The Atlantic
in your place by the sea
Toast a will that won't bend
and to an anonymous end

I'm in love with a wasted girl, Faded Jane
Standing on the stage of the world, Faded Jane
I'm in love with a wasted girl, Faded Jane
Standing on the stage of the world, Faded Jane

And it's been so long
since you could tell me about your dreams
There's nothing but silence now
and a blank stare where you used to be

I'm in love with a wasted girl, Faded Jane
Standing on the stage of the world, Faded Jane
I'm in love with a wasted girl, Faded Jane
Standing on the stage of the world, Faded Jane
