Fray the Lyrics

Halfway around the world
The desired thing is located far away from the singer

Lies the one thing that you want
The singer and/or someone they are addressing wants something specific that is located far away

Buried in the ground, hundreds of miles down
The desired thing is underground and located at a great distance

First thing that arises in your mind while you awake
Upon waking, the desired thing is the first thought on the artist's mind

It's bending you 'till you break
The desire for the thing is causing great stress or pressure

Let me hold you now
The singer wants to offer comfort and support to the person they are addressing

Baby close your eyes
The singer is addressing someone affectionately and inviting them to focus on the present moment

Don't open til the morning light
The artist wants the person they are addressing to wait until daylight to address their worries

Baby don't forget
The artist wants the person they are addressing to remember something important

You haven't lost it all yet
There is still hope for the person they are addressing to achieve what they desire

Don't know what your made of
The person being addressed is uncertain about themselves or their abilities

'Till the one thing that you want
The person being addressed won't know their full potential until they achieve what they want

Is coming with the dawn and suddenly changes
Once morning comes and the desire is achieved, life will change suddenly

Monday, syndicate me, it's everyone the same
Mondays feel the same for everyone and the singer is asking to be included in this shared experience

But all we've lost to the flame
Despite shared experiences, everyone has experienced loss

Listen to me now
The artist wants the person they are addressing to pay attention

All we know for sure
There is only one thing the artist and the person they are addressing know for certain

Is all that we are fighting for
The only thing that matters is what they are striving for

Someday when this is over
Eventually, the present struggle will end

We mix it up, no answer
Once the struggle ends, the artist and the person they are addressing will figure things out as they go

For now it's when I hold ya
The present moment is focused on the artist holding the person they are addressing

We are closer, we are closer
The artist and the person they are addressing are becoming closer through their shared experience and emotions

Now we are closer
The present moment is bringing the singer and the person they are addressing closer together

We haven't lost it all yet
Despite the struggle, hope still exists

We are closer
The singer and the person they are addressing are becoming closer through their shared experience and emotions
