lyrics

I met her in line at the 7-11
we were a thousand miles from Utah
and a long long way from heaven
she bought a pack of American Spirits
and a black eyeliner pen
my heart was pounding, but she didn’t hear it
it’ll never beat that loudly again

Allison
how can we be so far apart?
Allison
you put a nail through my blaseball heart
in the halo of the stadium light
you looked like you might just take flight
outta here

she said “we have what it takes to win”
her fist clenched as she said it
the lightning crackled underneath her skin
if there’s a god, then she didn’t fear it
if there’s salvation, she would sin
she said “the world changed, did you hear it?
it won’t be this good again”

Allison
I see you shining in the dark
Allison
you hit a nail right through the park
in the halo of the stadium light
you looked like you might just take flight
outta here

and she said
“someday i’ll find out what’s the best in me
be more than what they say is blessed in me”
and I said
“let’s leave this team in the northwest and we
can leave the triples up to Destiny”

Allison
how can we be so far apart?
