Foy Vance - Roman Attack lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Refrain] Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh [Verse 2] 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 [Refrain] Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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" [Chorus] 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 [Refrain] Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh [Chorus] 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 [Outro] Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
