Fading Away Lyrics

We're both on the shore
You're killing me, you're holding me down
You call me for sure
You're killing me, you're holding me down

Little talks for the better
Tap, tap on your shoulder
I feel love but it's over
I go down down down
Black stripes going under
My skin getting older
Felt love but it's over
I go down
(And you were just fading away)
It's getting cold and feeling colder
(And you were just finding a way)

Little talks for the better
Tap, tap on your shoulder
I felt love but it's over
I go down down down
Black stripes going under
My skin getting older
I felt love but it's over
I go down down down

We're both on the road
You breaking me, you holding me down
We share all our thoughts
You breaking me, you holding me down
Red lips but harder
None has swing better
I felt love but it's over
I go down down down

Thick blood on a finger
Together and wilder
I felt love but it's over
I go down
(And you were just fading away)
It's getting cold, I'm feeling colder
(And you were just finding a way)

Red lips but harder
None has swing better
I felt love but it's over
I go down down down
Fake blood on a finger
Together and wilder
I felt love but it's over
I go down down down

Little talks for the better
Tap, tap on your shoulder
I felt love but it's over
I go down down down
Black stripes going under
My skin getting older
I felt love but it's over
I go down down down

Little talks for the better
Tap, tap on your shoulder
I felt love but it's over
I go down down down
Black stripes going under
My skin getting older
I felt love but it's over
I go down down down
