[Verse 1]
I press my palm to the glass
One crack in the frost, one blackened map
The station hums like a dying throat
We count the burns on the sky in slow
My alien friend stands close to me
Four soft eyes on the same empty sea
He taps the pane, then he taps my wrist
Like, stay right here, don't miss this
[Pre-Chorus]
The sun gets thin
A copper coin
Spinning out
In the void
Hold my hand
If you can
When the day
Falls off the edge
[Chorus]
Fade away, fade away
Hold me in the afterglow
Fade away, fade away
Don't let the dark come for us both
(Stay with me) fade away
(Stay with me) fade away
We watch the last bright ember go
Fade away, fade away
[Verse 2]
I scroll my calls, but the signal dies
Just my own face in the screenless night
No home below, no doors, no sound
Just the slow red drip of a world burned out
He draws a line through the air with his claw
Says every star learns how to fall
I laugh once, then I bite my lip
'Cause I know this ship is a sinking blip
[Pre-Chorus]
The sun gets thin
A copper coin
Spinning out
In the void
Hold my hand
If you can
When the day
Falls off the edge
[Chorus]
Fade away, fade away
Hold me in the afterglow
Fade away, fade away
Don't let the dark come for us both
(Stay with me) fade away
(Stay with me) fade away
We watch the last bright ember go
Fade away, fade away
[Bridge]
[Half-time drop]
If the cold takes names
Write mine in ash
If the light won't stay
Then let it pass
He leans his head
On my shoulder seam
Two lost worlds
In a dying dream
[Final Chorus]
Fade away, fade away
Hold me in the afterglow
Fade away, fade away
Don't let the dark come for us both
(Stay with me) fade away
(Stay with me) fade away
We watch the last bright ember go
Fade away, fade away
