Lyrics Alina Simone - You Fade Away

Colored lights and clapboard cheap motels and starlight
Restaurants glow like a string of oiled pearls
As the smoke pours up through manholes in shimmering spirals
Curling up the walls to rooms with rooftop views
Under the wings and in the hollows little pockets filled with secrets
Oh yeah we run
Through the bridges and the tunnels throwing boots that catch on wires
We’re gonna run

So take these photographs and just cut them into pieces
Til you landscapes become beautiful and wild
Take these one-night stands and longtime disappointments
Turn them into bars of gold and vintage wine

I will change my name
Forget everything

Until the sun’s drawn in the water and the copters circle low up above
Until the dream is just a dream of someone else’s fantasy life

(you fall away)
(you fall away)
(you fall away)
(you fall away)
