Fade
Timeflies Lyrics

In the dead of the night when I'm awake
Late at night, when I can't sleep, I ponder about my life.

Do you think about tomorrow or yesterday when it's, Forgotten do you wish I stayed?
When you're alone, do you think about the future or the past? Do you regret asking me to leave?

I'm tryna be right, this is my life I can't stay, so I just fade.
I'm trying to do what's best for me and my dreams. I can't stay here, so I have to move on and leave you behind.

So you like the guy with dreams and goals, you were tired of the men who had sold their souls following the fold, but that's not true. Following the gold, that's more like you.
You say you want a guy who has dreams and ambitions, not someone who just goes with the flow. But in reality, you're the one who's chasing money and success.

Now a chance to escape from all of that life, cause you want to escape from all of that right? Here's your chance but I want you well in advance. Still you decide to trash out, change your face.
You have a chance to break free from your current life, but you're hesitant. I warn you ahead of time, but you decide to act recklessly and change everything.

I'll tell you right now lady that you know we're going places. So while we ride please girl hold on, take my hand now girl and we can't go wrong.
I believe in us and our future success. Please trust me, hold on tight, and we'll make it through anything together.

Hope you realize chancing dreams ain't easy, there are times when you can't fight believe me.
I hope you understand that trying to achieve your dreams is tough. There will be obstacles that seem impossible to overcome.

Too much of your life's plan, let's just swing it life's a game and I'm begging you to bring it right here. I know that there's too much too lose. It's a wake up call girl, but you're still hitting snooze.
You have your life planned out too much. Let's take a risk and see where life takes us. There's a lot at stake, but it's time to wake up and chase our dreams.

You say 'give up' too quickly and I don't know why. But I know will miss me when you lie awake and cry.
You give up on things too easily, and I don't understand why. But I know that when I'm gone, you'll regret it and miss me.

I told you that I wanna be a music man. You said 'alright baby what's your back up plan?' I wonder why that's the first place you go. You could have a little faith girl, you know?
I told you my dream was to be a musician, but you immediately asked about my back up plan. It makes me wonder if you have faith in me and my abilities.

I know this dream could be a long shot, but you could show some support and what not. Finally found an answer to return and say, made it up. That's what daddy does anyway.
I know my dream is a long shot, but I wish you could show some support. Maybe someday I'll achieve it and come back to tell you 'I made it.' That's what my dad always did.

I feel bad how I was forced to lie, sometimes your dreams need an alibi. Clearly that's an answer she likes to hear, she grabs her and whispers something in my ear: 'you're gonna be a great man one day.'
I hate that I had to lie to you about where I was going. Sometimes you need an excuse to chase your dreams. You seem to like the excuse, and you whisper something encouraging in my ear.

Yeah maybe I'll get mine someday. I'd rather leave and not lie, it ain't right but now you're stuck right here girl.
Maybe someday I'll reach my dreams, but for now, I have to move on and not tell lies. It's not fair, but you're the one who's stuck here.
