Faded Love
Tinashe & G-Eazy Lyrics

You on that faded love, love
Addressing the person who is in love but that love has passed its peak

Luh-luh-luh-luh-love
The repeated sound that echoes the fading of love

Love
Ending the repetition of 'faded love' as a way to emphasize the theme of the song

No, don't give me your name
Asking their lover to remain anonymous for the night

No, I don't need your number saved in my phone
Suggesting that this is only temporary and they don't need to exchange phone numbers

Just follow me, follow me, follow me
Asking their lover to come with them and follow their lead

Follow me home
Asking their lover to come back to their place

Wanna take off my rings in my California King
Expressing a desire to be intimate and vulnerable with their lover in their bed

Let me get you alone
Asking for privacy to explore their physical connection

Let's just feel this feelin'
Encouraging their lover to live in the moment and embrace their passion

High up as the ceilin'
Describing the intensity of their feelings and the height of their passion

Let's just, let's just feel this feelin'
Repeating the sentiment to emphasize its importance

Let's just feel this moment
Embracing and enjoying the present moment with their lover

We can make it last
Expressing a desire for their love to endure beyond this moment

Right now, right now
Emphasizing the urgency to live in the moment and enjoy their passion now

I can feel every breath on the edge of my neck
Describing the physical closeness and sensuality of their encounter

Cigarettes and cologne
Describing the scent of their lover

Just follow me, follow me, follow me
Repeating the instruction to come with them

No, I don't know the time and I don't know what's next
Embracing the uncertainty of the situation and the future

But I know that it's on
Feeling confident and sure that their connection is real and intense

Let's just feel this feelin'
Repeating the sentiment to emphasize its importance

Try our best to seal it
Describing a desire to make their love real and permanent

You on that faded love, love
Repeating the opening line as a reminder of the theme of the song

Before I give my white cup up
Referencing a popular drug cocktail and admitting to addiction problems

Before I give my white girl up
Referencing cocaine and admitting to addiction problems

Before I give my half-Dominican girl up, I need real love
Referencing a past relationship and expressing a need for genuine love

I'm on my fourth stripper of the day
Admitting to womanizing behavior

I keep a full thoroughbred Jamaican
Boasting about sexual conquests

I'ma find your G-spot like you dropped your location
Making a crass sexual joke and boasting about sexual prowess

Man I'ma give all this shit up one day
Expressing a desire to change and give up toxic behaviors

Get some love from a video vixen on the runway
Revealing a preference for superficial, fame-seeking women rather than genuine love

You can't hold it against a king, baby
Justifying the womanizing behavior by claiming entitlement as a successful musician

You shoulda made me better, what I need
Blaming their past lovers for their own issues

You shoulda upgraded me already
Stating that their past lovers should have helped them improve their life situation

You shoulda made love to me already
Blaming their past lovers for a lack of physical intimacy

I done spent a million on you already
Boasting about their wealth and past expenses on relationships

I done bought diamonds for you already
Boasting about their wealth and past expenses on relationships

If you love, you can teach me, wanna learn
Appealing to their lover's affection and expressing a desire to change and learn

Take you farther than Jerusalem when it's my turn
Promising to provide an exciting and fulfilling relationship

We so spiritually connected
Claiming a deep and meaningful connection beyond just physical attraction

We goin' in the right direction
Feeling confident and optimistic about their future together
