Red Licorice Fade

[Verse 1] As we move through the city And the lights hit us pretty Won't you save a little sip for me? All my days are getting shorter But a shots just a quarter At the liquor store down the street All this time I wasted Chasing pavements Seems a little silly now When this bottle makes it all blur Stand a little taller If you wanna fade I'll show you how [Chorus] Close your eyes and smile This only lasts for a while Let your worries melt away Like red licorice in May Wash your sins in the shine of the moon I said close your eyes and smile [Verse 2] Now you're catching up to me But you're bluffing as I see That you still got something eating you Tilt your head back and freeze ‘Cause this doesn't come with ease There's an art to letting go it's true Now don't be complacent Making faces While we're doing all we can Say we're Heading to our graves And there's nothing left to save We say Yeah well sugar that's the plan [Chorus] Close your eyes and smile This only lasts for a while Let your worries melt away Like red licorice in May Wash your sins in the shine of the moon I said close your eyes and smile [Bridge] Is there anything else to do? What else can we lose? As time goes by with all its dread And mothers turn their children's heads This isn't rock bottom yet [Chorus] Close your eyes and smile This only last for a while Let your worries melt away Like red licorice in May Wash your sins in the shine of the moon [Outro] Close your eyes and smile This only lasts for a while Let your worries melt away Let your worries melt away Let your worries melt away Honey give into the fade ‘Cause the world has got a scary view
