Lean Into The Fall
Mona Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Here we go from town to town
Set them up, I'll knock 'em down
Another drink, another round we go

I don't know which road to take
Holding on, for heaven's sake
Looking for the words to say to you
And I feel the push and pull
Taste the flesh and lose your soul
I think that I'll just let go to you

[Repeat: x2]
You gotta lean into the fall
Lean into the fall, oh-oh

Oh I like the way she looks
Hope she cleans and hope she cooks
Take her home, a second look, no need

Well is this sex or is it love
Hoping you don't call my bluff
Either way, you're something that I need

And I feel so justified
Laying next to you tonight
Hear the sound, it's calling out to me

[Repeat: x2]
You gotta lean into the fall
Lean into the fall, oh-oh

No, I can't find you
No, I don't want to

No, I can't find you
No, I don't want to





No, I can't find you

Please tell me I'm not the only one who hears this amazing song as a themesong for Supernatural? It's insane how much the lyrics follow the plot of the show

Scott Kincaid

Their bass player tweeted me back. Shows you doesn't it? After all their success of supporting some of the biggest bands around and they're still humble and down to earth people. I hope they become massive this year.

Saw them at Stubbs BBQ in Austin Texas last night! Got to meet Nick, Jordan, and Zack! I already knew Vince. These guys put on one of the best concerts i've ever been too... They really made their audience feel special, which in my opinion, makes them the best band of all time!
