All Night Long
Dig the Kid Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When it all Falls Down

Everything will change
When nothing stays the same
Through the ups and downs
Turn arounds ahead
Keep each other close
All the ones you need the most
Will be there for you
Through and through to the end
So don't lose hope just begin again

When the voices tear you down
When your ship has run aground
There will be someone to guide you safe to shore

And if the skies get rough
If ashes turn to dust
(oh)
And when you can't see through
I will be there for you

When it all falls down
When it all falls down
When it all falls, when it all falls
When it all falls down

If you're down on your luck at the end of your rope
I'll be there for a drink and a tale of hope
When the walls caving in leave you lost in despair
Let me punch you a hole for the light and the air
And when everything's bleak or when everything's dark
When you can't get a light when you can't feel a spark
I'll be there from the start I'll be there through the end
When you're needing a push when you're needing a friend
When it all falls down

When it all falls down
When it all falls down
When it all falls, when it all falls
When it all falls down

When it all falls down
When it all falls, when it all falls
When it all falls down
(oh)
And when you can't see through
I will be there for you

When it all falls down
(Pick you up cause your never alone)
When it all falls down
(I'll be there for you, there for you, oh)




When it all falls, when it all falls
When it all falls down

on When It All Falls Down

Everything will change
When nothing stays the same
Through the ups and downs
Turnarounds ahead
Keep each other close
I know what you need the most
Will be there for you
Through and through to the end
So don't lose hope
Just begin again

When the voices tear you down
When your ship has run aground
There will be someone to guide you safe to shore

And if the skies get rough
If ashes turn to dust
Oh, and when you can't see through
I will be there for you
When it all falls down
When it all falls down
When it all falls
When it all falls
When it all falls down

If you're down on your luck
At the end of your rope
I'll be there for a drink
In a day and I hope
When the wall's caving in
Leave you lost and you're spent
Let me punch you a hole
For the light and the air
And when everything's bleak
Or when everything's dark
When you can't get a light
When you can't feel a spark
I'll be there from the start
I'll be there through the end
When you needed a push
When you needed a friend
When it all falls down

When it all falls down
When it all falls down
When it all falls
When it all falls
When it all falls down

When it all falls down
When it all falls
When it all falls
When it all falls down

Oh, oh

And when you can't see through
I will be there for you

When it all falls down (So you're lost, but you're never alone)
When it all falls down (I'll be there for you, there for you, oh)
When it all falls
When it all falls
When it all falls down
