“As Soon As Night” is about the urgent need to get out of a bad relationship that has gone on for too long, told from the point of view from the one doing the abandoning rather than the one abandoned.
Secret safe and locked in a secret safe
Why do I keep on saving it for
As soon as night I’m going to break in that bank
And spend it
And tell you
This ain’t our house no more
I’ve changed my heart
No, it can’t wait until death does its part
You’re free now
So free me
As soon as night I’m going sailing
Wish away on that wishful sea
As soon as night I wish to be lonely
A wave to come and take from me
No more restlessness to wrestle with
I can bite my tongue and close my eyes for at least three more weeks
As soon as night I’ll find an island beach
As soon as night I’ll be digging in that sand
As soon as night I’ll be well underground
And tunneling
