Fading West (song)

"Fading West" is the song that inspired Switchfoot's ninth album, Fading West. It was however never released on the album because it didn't have the same sound and feel to it.

It was released on the physical copy of the Fading West EP as a bonus track and later released on The Edge of the Earth extended play.

Lyrics
The sun goes down for the summer Mirror sky for the water I am fading westward too Fading west with you

Life won’t sing like I want it The traffic post modern sonnet The traffic hums a dirty tune Fading West with you

Heading back to the west coast Where I’m from I’m heading back to the left coast Where I belong. California’s calling me back home Fading West with you

Keep my mind over matter Cause I’ve seen my hopes shattered They told me lies I thought were true Fading West with you

The sun goes down We were already gone Heading back to the west coast Where I’m from I’m heading back to the left coast Where I belong. California’s calling me back home Fading West with you

When I’m out on my own Feel like I’m caving in When you leave me alone I start to wonder Where have I been Where have I been

Heading back to the west coast Where I’m from I’m heading back to the left coast Where I belong. California’s calling me back home Fading West with you
