Ungodly Hour Lyrics

Lyric discussion by taylor09hern 

Cover art for Ungodly Hour lyrics by Fray, The

I think this is about a boy and girl who have gotten into a fight

He realizes his mistake but cant/wont say anything

"And I am short on words knowing what's occurred She begins to leave because of me"

I know you're leaving now Cause I held on to my way tightly

And this is what he wishes he could say but cant

This song is so beautiful and sad.

I think others are right in that it is about a fight/breakup, but I feel that it is larger than not being able to admit a mistake.

"Cause I held on to my way tightly"

The above line evokes a sense of his unwillingness to listen/change over a long period of time (perhaps their entire relationship). The result is their ungodly hour.
