Lyrics Faded - Nicole Atkins, Cotton Mather

Faded

There’s a tear-shaped case that we saw
In an auction hall, suffering in silence
Must be reassigned tonight
While we’re partioning the moonlight
And these red moth flames that adorn
The neural form, our old kitchen door
Lends the place a pointless air
The new tenants can make repairs
(Our love isn’t gone)
(We just have to move on)
We’re so faded
Faded
Here’s a magazine that we found
With a page turned down, relevant to two
Occupants of caustic youth
Who blurred their words to blunt the truth
Now our eyes both fall on the records
Baby, that’s the hardest part
Half of which we bought together
Now life is imitating art
(And our little dream)
(Is over, it seems)
We’re so faded
Faded
(Behind the self-assurance lies a broken fairy tale)
(And I must confess, this forwarding address)
(Don't mean my heart’s found home yet)
On a night in June when we keyed in tune
To quaint possibilities
Built this palace out of dust
Now it’s outlasted both of us
On to five o’clock when I keyed the lock
To my new familiar
Thoughts of you, I can’t resist
It’s you I want and always miss
(And looking ahead)
(From this empty bed)
I’m so faded
Faded
Faded
Faded
Faded
Faded
