Fading Yellow (versie 2)

Verse

Fjord at sunrise, road already worn

Last ferry's leaving the quiet shore

Coat zipped close against the wind that stings

Radio crackles static, one more song

Salt on my lips where the spray has been

Empty map folding up in my hand

Pre-Chorus

I can feel it pulling out to sea

Something I built but never knew was me

The light's still holding onto the sound

Nothing left to lose when there's nothing down

Chorus

Let it fade, let it fade

Watch that yellow turning grey

No more names on any door

Just the open road and me again

This is breaking and this is okay

I'm not chasing what I had tonight

It was never mine in the first place

So let it drift into blue light

Verse

Six hours straight without a break

Skyline thinning out to grey

Fuel gauge ticking down to the last line

Nothing left that I have to say

Headlights fading where the road turns wide

Somewhere behind me, somewhere else inside

Pre-Chorus

I can feel it pulling out to sea

Something I built but never knew was me

The light's still holding onto the sound

Nothing left to lose when there's nothing down

Chorus

Let it fade, let it fade

Watch that yellow turning grey

No more names on any door

Just the open road and me again

This is breaking and this is okay

I'm not chasing what I had tonight

It was never mine in the first place

So let it drift into blue light

Bridge

Maybe grief looks like an empty seat

Maybe sunrise just stole my defeat

The ache gets softer with every mile

Turns to quiet, turns to sky

Nothing's left of who I used to be

But that's okay — this is me now

I don't need the weight of what I've been

Just the road still moving underneath

Chorus

Let it fade, let it fade

Watch that yellow turning grey

No more names on any door

Just the open road and me again

This is breaking and this is okay

I'm not chasing what I had tonight

It was never mine in the first place

So let it drift into blue light
