Songfacts®:

  • This is a bonus track on the US release of Nashville-based alternative rock band Mona's self-titled debut album. "'The Tally' is a song about the whirlwind of the opposite sex that you may meet on the road," lead singer Nick Brown told Spinner. "The ups and downs of people's quality or intentions: The chase, the fantasy and the bittersweet fact that it's never what it seems."
