frayed

rubbing my hand over my shaved head, another bald samson

looking on, you're looking away

i'm waiting here to catch you, like a knight, like a fool

dressed in dirty white, ready to save the day

they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder

they must be absent minded

set me up another drink

i think i'm gonna be here for a while

i'm hanging on your every word, hanging by a thread

and i'm frayed

i probably oughta let it go

i probably oughta let it go

i probably oughta let it go, but i'm gonna stay

to steal a minute more, i've forsaken sleep

like a thief, like a child, like an idiot

like a living, breathing statue of desperation

i stand faithful and pretrified

they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder

i know they're absent minded

set me up another drink

i know i'm gonna be here for a while

i'm hanging on your every word, hanging by a thread

and i'm frayed

i probably oughta let it go

i probably oughta let it go

i probably oughta let it go, but i've gotta stay
