Roman Attack

We fell out by the side of the road
I came in like a roman attack or a train off the track
You were taken aback
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

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

I was there to help the story unfold
But I ended up a thorn in your side with my prickling pride
And inarticulate drive
All you wanted was a glimmer of hope
And I exploded like a splitting of adams
Even eve couldn't fathom how we shrugged it off as happenstance

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

It's hard to see it now, but I remember once upon a time
There was a world, then there was you and I
Never dreamed we could be anything less than alright
Until the night when I tried to pick a fight
No apology could ever make it be alright
But we're still alive, and I still apologize
All you ever really wanted to see in my eyes
Was a little life 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 left
You said: Didn't you hear about the call?
You're bombarding me with previous 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 a world, then there was you and I
Never dreamed we could be anything less than alright
Until the night when I tried to pick a fight
No apology could ever make it be alright
But we're still alive, and I still apologize
All you ever really wanted to see in my eyes
Was a little life to illuminate and empathize

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

It's hard to see it now, but I remember once upon a time
There was a world, then there was you and I
Never dreamed we could be anything less than alright
Until the night when I tried to pick a fight
No apology could ever make it be alright
But we're still alive, and I still apologize
All you ever really wanted to see in my eyes
Was a little life to illuminate and empathize

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
