Fading
I wake up paranoid and tired
I can't sleep right when you're away
I cling to songs that you inspired
I'm desperate not to let you fade
I ground my past in misspent nights
I trace us back through perfect highs
I trail our hopes with unplanned fights
I'm desperate just to come inside
Do you want to slip away?
It's better that than fade
Grip my hand like yesterday
It's better that than fade
I gave up all that held me back
I never asked where we would go
I wouldn't change a thing 'bout that
I'm desperate you already know
I wake up curled into your skin
I touch to prove you're solid now
I close my eyes to lock this in
I'm desperate to remember how
Do you want to slip away?
It's better that than fade
Grip my hand like yesterday
It's better that than fade
Slip away with me
Slip away with me
Don't fade away
Don't fade away
