look back with me
just a few short weeks ago
when i didn't want you to know
alive when i said i was fine if we're no more than friends
your hands are soft as the foam of the waves
leave me with nothing to say
reflections opaque as your beautiful eyes when we danced.
oh allison im holding right here in my hand the only gift i have to give .
i lay it before you and trust you'll be gentle and kind.
oh allison, i placed in the palm of you hand,
the heart of an innocent man.
i know its not broken
but certainly tatered and worn.
allison, go run away, to a place where you know you'll be safe.
for i will be waiting right here for you when you return.
oh allison,yeah.
have i given you enough time? to study things out in your mind.
i've waited so long that i feel you are slipping away.
oh allison, remember a few weeks ago?
when you didnt want me to know
that you'd come around,and were feeling the same thing as me, yeah.
oh allison, i said your name dozens of time,
cos i can't get you out of my mind.
helps me to know that you just might be thinking of me.
oh allison, think of the children we'd have,
raised by the truth of the lamb.
i'd only support you, i swear by these scars on my hands.
oh allison, i promise as long as i live.
that you'll never have to forgive me.
im trying to be perfect for you, but im only a man.
oh, allison
oh, allison, i know that we're both feeling scared,
bit nervous and quite unprepared.
but deep down inside we're as ready s we'll ever be.
oh allison, holding right here in my hand, the heart of an innocent man.
and all that im asking of you, is please give me a chance.
