Fader Lyrics
Temper Trap
Lyrics
I'm in transit
Floating, stranded on this boat
And I pledge myself allegiance
To a better night's sleep at home
And the sweet, sweet sun's coming down hard
The sun's coming down hard, it burns the bones
So hold a hand for cover, hold a hand for cover
Hold a hand for cover from harm
Talk don't change a thing
Oh, it's fading fader
The words don't sink their swims
Oh, it's fading fader
Bless this mess, we tried our best
That's all that we can do
While the angels walk with the lonely ones
In the cold rain to rescue you
And this fable world's coming down hard
The world's coming down hard on all our homes
So hold a hand for cover, hold a hand for cover
Hold a hand for cover from harm
Talk don't change a thing
Oh, it's fading fader
The words don't sink their swims
Oh, it's fading fader
Talk don't change a thing
Oh, it's fading fader (I'm in transit)
The words don't sink their swims (the world might be there, the world might be there)
Oh, it's fading fader (I'm in transit)
Oh, it's fading fader (the world might be there, the world might be there)
Oh, it's fading fader (I'm in transit)
