Fade Lyrics

Are you still the boy that I kissed

Drunk in the backseat when I was sixteen?

Are you still the boy that I missed

Taught you to fly til you flew past me

Cuz now it's "Hey, how are you?"

You're just fine

It's good to see you

It's been a long time

How's your family been?

Well I'm doing alright if you wanted to know

I cut my hair, got a place on my own

I've been talking to this guy on the internet

He reminds me of you sometimes

And you're dancing in dollars down in LA

Got a few tattoos

Shaking hands with fame

You utter a breath and they scream your name

Yeah they're watching you

And I watch you fade

So tell me where'd he go

With the buzzcut oblivion

Laughing, his arms around me

Oh, and where'd you go?

Now you call, talking small

And the silence is deafening

Yeah it's always,

"Hey how are you? How've you been?"

Then you gotta go but you'll call again

Yeah we play the game

So I'm doing alright if you wanted to know

I grew my hair and I'm living alone

I've been talking to this guy on the internet

But he doesn't make me laugh like you

And you're drowning in dollars down in LA

Got a few tattoos

Getting used to the fame

You utter a breath and they scream your name

Yeah they're watching you

And I watch you fade

I watch you fade

And soon the day will come, inevitably

When I don't recognize you

And you don't remember me

But I'm doing alright

And we can't fight time

So we let this fade

I watch you fade

Yeah we let us fade

Fade
