Never should've took my eye off... It's how i lose sight Now there's a fire burning inside me It Feels like I swallowed sunlight Just like a child when they know it's bed time Looking for the moonlight I've been trying to get ahold of my best friend But the timing aint right I've been trying to talk about my dreaming And she's no where in sight And there's no way to stop my feelings I'm just fending off the night Watching the leaves fall from my window And her car turn right And the sucker trailing behind her About to be told goodbye Now that autumn has arrived A little piece of me died I've been trying to get ahold of my old man But the timing aint right I've been trying to reel in my drinking Before my soul's in the fight I'm just fending off the night I'm just fending off the night
