Faded

Photo-book picture of me and you on the dash
Sun bleached looking like a old time photograph
It flew hard hanging onto the window glass
It ain't gone yet but it's headed there way too fast

We could have burned like that rubber at the red light
Those summer stars in your eyes just catching fire in the back seat
Shine like those dreams we used to dream about with our headlights heading out of town
Remember baby we were gonna prove 'em all wrong
Flip 'em all off when we made it
But like an old tattoo, baby me and you just faded

Like that country line sunset slipping through our fingertips
We tried to get it back but it all went black instead

We could have burned like that rubber at the red light
Those summer stars in your eyes just catching fire in the back seat
Shine like those dreams we used to dream about with our headlights heading out of town
Remember baby we were gonna prove 'em all wrong
Flip 'em all off when we made it
But like an old tattoo, baby me and you just faded

Like the end of that feeling
Your heart-beating slow dance song
Being scared when the last note hits that you can't hold on

We could have burned like that rubber at the red light
Those summer stars in your eyes just catching fire in the back seat
Shine like those dreams we used to dream about with our headlights heading out of town
Remember baby we were gonna prove 'em all wrong
Flip 'em all off when we made it
But like an old tattoo, baby me and you just faded
