We fell out by the side of the road I came in like a roaming attack Or a train off the track You were taking a bow I was there for sharing the load I was there for taking the slack When your spirit was lacking And your soul was feeling shackled up I was there to help the story unfold But I ended up a thorn in your side With my prickling pride And an articulate drag All you wanted was a glimmer of hope I exploded like the splitting of atoms Even if you couldn't fathom How we shrugged it off as happenstance It's hard to see it now But I remember once upon a time There was the world And there was you and I Never dreamed we could be anything Until the night when I tried to pick a fight No apology could ever make you be alright You're still alive and you still apologize All you ever really wanted to see in my eyes Was a bit of light to illuminate and empathize I was shouting in the street I recall You were armadillo in full effect Simply trying to protect all the space that he laid You said didn't you hear about the cold You bombarded me with grievous lovers And then devious brothers Like everything means nothing at all It's hard to see it now But I remember once upon a time There was the world And there was you and I Never dreamed we could be anything Until the night when I tried to pick a fight No apology could ever make you be alright You're still alive and you still apologize All you ever really wanted to see in my eyes Was a bit of light to illuminate and empathize Ooh, ooh, ooh It's hard to see it now But I remember once upon a time There was the world And there was you and I Never dreamed we could be anything Until the night when I tried to pick a fight No apology could ever make you be alright You're still alive and you still apologize All you ever really wanted to see in my eyes Was a bit of light to illuminate and empathize Ooh, ooh, ooh
