The Fragments Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There comes a time for everybody
When true love will come your way
There comes a time for everybody
That's what they tell me, that's what they say

I didn't hear them say a word
Of when that time will be
I only know that what they say
Has not come true for me

You just keep waiting
And love will come your way
That's what they tell me, that's what they say

There comes a time for everybody
When true love will come your way
There comes a time for everybody
That's what they tell me, that's what they say

I didn't hear them say a word
Of when that time will be
I only know that what they say
Has not come true for me

You just keep waiting
And love will come your way




That's what they tell me, that's what they say
That's what they tell me, that's what they say

Overall Meaning

The Fragments’ song “Fragments” discusses the universal human hope of finding true love. The lyrics convey the notion that everyone will reach a point in their life when they will meet their soulmate. The song suggests that hearing the phrase “There comes a time for everybody when true love will come your way” can be comforting or frustrating, depending on where the person is in their life. The singer implies that while many may be lucky enough to find their true love, some people may never find it no matter how long they wait.


The song’s chorus repeats the statement that love will eventually come one’s way and that this is what they tell people. However, the singer heard no mention of when this love will arrive for them. At the same time, the song’s tone is not pessimistic. Perhaps, the reason for this is that love remains an elusive sensation and so, all one can do is wait for it. This song could be interpreted as a reminder to those who may have become jaded or who have simply given up on love that there is always an opportunity to find it even if it seems elusive.
