Fade Songtext
von Timeflies

In the dead of night, when I′m away
Do you think about tomorrow or yesterday?
When it's forgotten, you wish I stayed
I′m tryna be right, this is my life, I can't wait
So I just stay


You said you're not the girl with dreams and goals
You were tired of the men who had sold their souls
Following the fold
But that′s not true
Following the gold
That′s more like you
Now a chance to escape
From all of that life
'Cause you want to escape
From all of that, right?
Here′s your chance
But I warned you well in advance
Yeah, you just had my best shot
Straight face
Tell you right now, lady
That you know we're going places
If the world rides with ease, girl, hold on
Take my hand now, girl
And we can′t go wrong
I hope you realize chasing dreams ain't easy
There′ll be times when you can't find what you're needing
Too much of your life′s planned
Let′s just wing it, life's a game and
I′m begging you to bring it right here
I know that there's too much to do
It′s a wake-up call, girl
But you're still in tune
You say give up too quickly
And I don′t know why
But I know you will miss me
When you lie awake and cry

In the dead of night, when I'm away
Do you think about tomorrow or yesterday?
When it's forgotten, you wish I stayed
I′m tryna be right, this is my life, I can′t wait
So I just stay


Told you that I wanna be your music man
You said, "Alright, baby
What's your backup plan?"
I wonder why that′s the first place you go
You could have a little faith, girl, you know
I know this dream can be a long shot
But you could show some support and whatnot
Finally financed, I turn and say
Made it up, that's what a daddy does anyway
I feel bad how I am forced to lie
Sometimes your dreams need an alibi
Clearly, that′s an answer that she likes to hear
She grabs my face and whispers something in my ear
"You're gonna be a great man one day"
Yeah, maybe I′ll get mine someday
Rather leave and not lie, it ain't right
That you're stuck right here, girl

In the dead of night, when I′m away
Do you think about tomorrow or yesterday?
When it′s forgotten, you wish I stayed
I'm tryna be right, this is my life, I can′t wait
So I just stay

Think of where I was back when I wrote this
Now I know that you probably run around and quote this
Focus, maybe you could find yourself a lesson
Instead of feeling sorry for yourself and second guessing
The shoulda, coulda, woulda's is where you′ve gone wrong
You were praying I failed, now look what I've blown
Couldn′t stay long 'cause I felt a purpose
But back then I only felt worthless
Yeah, I guess you kinda deserve this

In the dead of night, when I'm away
Do you think about tomorrow or yesterday?
When it′s forgotten, you wish I stayed
I′m tryna be right, this is my life, I can't wait
So I just stay
In the dead of night, when I′m away
Do you think about tomorrow or yesterday?
When it's forgotten, you wish I stayed
I′m tryna be right, this is my life, I can't wait
So I just stay

In the dead of night
I told you, girl
I just stay
I′m tryna be right, this is my life, I can't wait
So I just stay
