The Night Fell

by Wide Mouth Mason

on No Bad Days (2011)

For every hair on your pretty little head there's a word that I never should have said
For every yellow dotted line on the black there's an action that I wish I could take back
For every single solitary grain of sand there's a chance I let slip from my hand
For every second that's ticking on my wrist there's a girl who I never should have kissed

When the night fell it fell on me
And I can't tell where it went to hell on me
It was so bad, worse than it used to be
It was bad before
I don't need it anymore

For every person toss and turning in their sleep there's a promise that I tried and failed ot keep
For every wave that comes crashing on the shore there's somewhere that I'll never go no more
For every single solitary grain of sand there's a chance I let slip from my hand
For every second that's ticking on the clock...

I crossed the line and kept on going
I'll get my direction from the wind that's blowing
What I'm bound for, man I don't know
The only way to get there is to go
