Syndicate Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Halfway around the world lies the one thing that you want
Buried in the ground, hundreds of miles down
The first thing that arises in your mind when you awake
Is bending you 'til you break, let me hold you now

[Chorus]
Baby, close your eyes, don't open 'til the morning light
Baby, don't forget, we haven't lost it all yet

[Verse 2]
Don't know what you're made of 'til the one thing that you want
Is coming with the dawn and suddenly changes
The Monday syndicate meets everyone the same
All we've lost to the flame, listen to me now

[Chorus]
Baby, close your eyes, don't open 'til the morning light
Don't ever forget, we haven't lost it all yet
All we know for sure is all that we are fighting for
Baby, don't forget we haven't lost it all yet

[Bridge]
Someday when this is over
We may still have no answer
For now it's when I hold her
We are closer, we are closer
We are closer, we are closer

See The Fray Live

Get tickets as low as $95

[Chorus]
Baby, close your eyes, don't open 'til the morning light
Don't ever forget, we haven't lost it all yet
All we know for sure is all that we are fighting for
Baby, don't forget we haven't lost it all yet

[Outro]
We are closer
We are closer
(We haven't lost it all yet)
Now we are closer
(We haven't lost it all yet)
We are closer

About

“Syndicate” acts as the opener for The Fray’s selt-titled 2009 album. It was released as the third single supporting the album on January 12, 2010.

Somewhat of a sleeper hit, the song debuted on the Hot Adult Top 40 Tracks chart in position #25, peaking at #16 nearly three months later. The piano melody drives the song forward and artfully meshes with the vocals to create an uplifting and all around emotional soundscape which fans have come to expect from the Denver pop/rock band.

The highly abstract music video, superimposing faces upon faces upon various objects, was directed by Mark Pellington. Pellington had previously directed The Fray’s 2004 international hit, “How to Save a Life.”
