Fade

He started selling drugs for the money
Putting some to the side
Getting all fucked up on your own supply
Riding with the same group of guys
We used to hide away from
And now we're so caught up
Tryna make it instead
That I cut you off just to get ahead
Scared that you were dragging me
Deeper down into the mud

Woah oh!
What have we done
Because you and I both could have had
Whatever we wanted
But we were two punk kids
Though the costs were always fronted
Our growth was only stuntin' though
And we were always picked back up
And I watched you

As you turned your back to our class
Embarrassed by the money that our folks had
Man, I was too
But I only tried to strengthen the sum
And ohh, we sit
Where we used to rest
Smoke cigarettes
And watch the sun set
Over our town
And the plans that we laid
As we fade, as we fade

And I don't really know where we should start
We were so damn different and born to drift apart
Maybe all we had in common
Was the love for the drugs
But I can still feel you pushing right down on my chest
Where I cross my arms and force my last breath
We were always willing to risk the blackout
For a shot at the buzz

And ohh, we sit
Where we used to rest
Smoke cigarettes
And watch the sun set
Slow to the ground
Casting our shade
As we fade, as we fade

You're probably drunk at the local bar
On a Wednesday afternoon
With the same old face as they never had the guts to move
And I live back in my parents house
With no clue what to do
Maybe quit the dream and pick back up the school

And ohh, we sit
Where we used to rest
Smoke cigarettes
And watch the sun set
And I hit you up
To see how you've been
You say you've been better
But you want to hang again
Though we both know
That promises made
Only fade, only fade
Only fade
