Fading in the Blue

In the hush of the midnight light,

You held my heart like a lullaby.

Whispered dreams on a trembling sky—

Tell me, will they stay or pass me by?

(Pre-Chorus)

I threw my fears into the ocean,

Watched them sink beneath the tide.

But every wave pulls back the moment

You said you'd never leave my side.

(Chorus)

Will you love me when the stars turn cold,

When my fire fades, when my story’s old?

I’m dancing through this summertime sadness,

Barefoot in a dress of fragile madness.

We were born to fly, we were born to try,

Even if we’re born to die—

Hold me close while the world turns blue,

’Cause every breath I take leads back to you.

(Verse 2)

Red lights paint the boulevard,

Memories hitting soft then hard.

I still taste July on my skin,

A burning love, a sacred sin.

(Pre-Chorus)

All our moments drenched in gold,

But even gold can break and fold.

Tell me now, before we fall—

Was I ever yours at all?

(Chorus)

Will you love me when the stars turn cold,

When my fire fades, when my story’s old?

I’m dancing through this summertime sadness,

Barefoot in a dress of fragile madness.

We were born to fly, we were born to try,

Even if we’re born to die—

Hold me close while the world turns blue,

’Cause every breath I take leads back to you.

(Bridge)

And if the night takes me away,

Promise you’ll remember me that way—

Wild and soft, like a dying flame,

Calling out your name, your name.

(Final Chorus)

Will you love me when I lose my shine,

When I’m just a ghost inside your mind?

Still dancing through my summertime sadness,

Still wearing love like a fearless madness.

We were born to dream, even if we cry,

Even if we’re born to die—

Stay with me in the fading blue,

’Cause every part of me

Belongs to you.
