Every Night

Aaron Norton

A song from a child point of view listening to their parents argue.

All these words are scaring me
They’re giving me the creeps
When I hear what’s going on
My heart drops to the floor

It’s over all these problems
Money, kids and work
It always manages to back fire
They’re tearing each other apart

I wait by the window
Making sure if anyone leaves
I can chase them

Every Night I hear them scream
Trying to explain themselves
Trying not to fall apart
but the shouting’s going nowhere
It just irritates them more
And more
And more

The day goes by really well
You know every thing’s so sweet
It just takes a little mock or hiccup
And the heavens will open again

I wait by the window
Making sure if anyone leaves
I can chase them

Every night I hear them scream
Trying to explain themselves
Trying not to fall apart
but the shouting’s going nowhere
It just irritates them more
And more
And more

Every night I hear them scream
Trying to explain themselves
Trying not to fall apart
