Fading Away
Adam Naas Lyrics

We're both on the shore
We are both present in this relationship, but we seem to be stranded and unable to move forward.

You're killing me, you're holding me down
Your actions and behaviors are negatively affecting me and are keeping me from progressing in this relationship.

You call me for sure
You may reach out to me from time to time, but it does not change the fact that our relationship is stagnant.

Little talks for the better
Having conversations and communication between ourselves can improve our relationship.

Tap, tap on your shoulder
I may try to get your attention, but it seems difficult to get through to you.

I feel love but it's over
Even though there may be feelings of love between us, our relationship has come to an end.

I go down down down
I feel like I am sinking or spiraling downward due to the circumstances of our relationship.

Black stripes going under
There seem to be dark and negative aspects of our relationship that are dragging us down further.

My skin getting older
The stress and difficulties of our relationship are taking a toll on me and causing me to age prematurely.

(And you were just fading away)
It seems like you are slowly disappearing and becoming less present in our relationship.

It's getting cold and feeling colder
Our relationship is becoming more distant and the emotional connection is fading away.

(And you were just finding a way)
You seem to be actively searching for a solution or a way out of our relationship.

You breaking me, you holding me down
Your actions and behaviors are causing harm to me and making it difficult to progress in our relationship.

We share all our thoughts
We have been open and honest with each other, but it does not seem to be enough to keep our relationship going.

Red lips but harder
You seem to be tough and uncompromising, making it difficult to maintain a healthy relationship with you.

None has swing better
We may have had good times in our relationship, but ultimately, it has not been successful.

Thick blood on a finger
There has been some kind of physical or emotional pain or trauma experienced in our relationship.

Together and wilder
Our relationship may have started off passionate and exciting, but it was not sustainable in the long term.

Fake blood on a finger
There may have been dishonesty or betrayal in our relationship, causing harm and leaving wounds.
