FADE AWAY
Che-Fu Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When you would get up out of here
So, long time friends
We remain the same
Until you return one day, I will say
I would never fade-away on you,
I would never fade-away
I would never fade-away
I'm still thinking, when we used to chill
And reason till the morning sun, so,
We'd talk of places
never seen before
who would think you'd be the one, to go
Out there, over, mountains, oceans, highways, byways
Still your thinking I'm there
With you, tag team, us two, straight through,
that's why I stay strong to you, so I
I would never fade-away on you,
I would never fade-away
I would never fade-away on you,
I would never fade-away
No I'd never, thought I'd see the day
When I would get up out of here
So, long time friends
We remain the same
Until I return one day, I will say
I would never fade-away on you,
I would never fade-away
I would never fade-away on you,
I would never fade-away, until we go
Out there, over, mountains, oceans, highways, byways
Still I'm thinking your there
With me, tag team, us two, straight through,
that's why I stay strong to you, so I
I would never fade-away on you,
I would never fade-away
I would never fade-away on you,
I would never fade-away

No I'd never, thought I'd see the day
I never expected this day to come
When you would get up out of here
When you would leave and go away
So, long time friends
We have been friends for a long time
We remain the same
Our friendship is unchanged
Until you return one day, I will say
Until you come back, I will keep telling you
I would never fade-away on you,
I would never abandon you
I'm still thinking, when we used to chill
I still remember when we hung out
And reason till the morning sun, so,
And talked until the sun came up
We'd talk of places never seen before
We talked about new and exciting places we've never been to before
who would think you'd be the one, to go
Who would have thought that you would be the one to leave

You are out there, traveling across mountains, oceans, highways, and byways
Still your thinking I'm there
But you still believe that I am with you

Together, we were a team, like a tag team, going straight through life

That's why I remain strong for you

I never expected this day to come
When I would get up out of here
When I would also leave and go away
Until I return one day, I will say
Until I come back, I will keep telling you
Until we go
Until we both leave and go away
