Lyrics for I Listened (Every Night)

I was worried in the night And you could never have a decent time Middle of your bed Nothing could prepare you for this day I was a brother in a fight Within myself, I saw a darkened light And the music stayed so low Deafening on my way home And I listened every night Falling out the way Something made you stay Time will change you It's like it's chosen every time My hands could never grip too strong or tight Even head and chest Nothing could prepare you for this role And I listened every night Falling out the way Something made you stay And I listened every night Falling out the way Something made you stay Time will change you I couldn't see anything in between that's soft I wasn't there at all A dream is often solo
