Fade
Love .45 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As I drive away
You had me and you lost me
Two hours ago
And watch my taillight fade
'Cause you turned me away
There's beauty in not knowing
And there
Is more water under our bridge than there is in the
Whole ocean
Watch my taillight fade
As I drive away
You had me and you lost me
Two hours ago
And watch my taillight fade
'Cause you pushed me away
There's beauty in not knowing
Your destiny
And there
Is more water under our bridge that there is
In the whole ocean, oh
And there
Is more water under our bridge than there is in the
Whole ocean

And watch my taillight fade
Observing my departing car get smaller and dimmer in the distance
As I drive away
As I leave you behind
You had me and you lost me
You had my love but you let it slip away
Two hours ago
Recently
And watch my taillight fade
Seeing my car getting smaller in the rearview mirror
'Cause you turned me away
Because you rejected me
There's beauty in not knowing
There is something beautiful about being uncertain
Everything
Every detail and answer
And there
In that same vein
Is more water under our bridge than there is in the
We have experienced more between us than there is in any body of water
Whole ocean
All of the Earth's oceans combined
Watch my taillight fade
See my car moving further away
As I drive away
As I put distance between us
You had me and you lost me
You once had my love but you forfeited it
Two hours ago
Recently
And watch my taillight fade
Gaze as my car disappears in the distance
'Cause you pushed me away
Because you forcibly separated us
There's beauty in not knowing
Uncertainty can be its own kind of loveliness
Your destiny
What fate holds for you
And there
In addition
Is more water under our bridge than there is
We have shared more experiences together than even the vastest bodies of water
In the whole ocean, oh
In all of the world's oceans

I'm listening for the millionth time, here on Youtube though, going through them all saying, "This is the best one!" This whole album is just perfection.
@MrJRSLim
