Fade Away
Cama Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What is wrong with my daydream?
What is wrong with dreaming the day away?
What is wrong with my daydream?
Sometimes I have to drift away
What is wrong with my daydream?
Let me show you how to fly away
Take my sixth ring, close my eyes and play
Cause that's the best way to fade
Fade Away The best way to fade
Fade Away, Fade Away
Fade Awayyyyy
Uuuhhhhhh

I drift away now each and every day
Go with the tide
Running through the bay
Never mind now I'm bound to stray
God only knows that I try
Fade Away, Fade Away
And so I fade away
Fade Away So many ways that I tried be fall
But nothing around to open that door
And that is why we gonna fade




Fade Away Sometimes I fade away
Fade Away Nothing is wrong with my daydream
