Ally

You crossed my heart and I hope you’re fine
You better understand you’re never far behind
The moment always etched deep inside my mind
Was the moment we were reading letters back in time
I was there for you, you were there for me
And honesty was something we had never seen
We shared a common thread hanging from a tree
We cut it down together buried deep beneath

So please, please know

When the shots fly, after midnight
When there’s dark skies, I’m your ally
You need to know
Even when stars shine, I’d take a red eye
Sit by your bedside
You need to know
When there’s no light, you’re waiting for sunrise
I can hear your cries
You need to know
You better believe I’m ready to remind
I’m still your ally
You need to know
Please know

You can come over unannounced
Just don’t ever let me read
That you were breaking down alone
Or building any walls between
Even in December in the colder winter weather
I just pray that you’ll remember
That I’ll never let you leave it up to me
And I’ll remind you of just who I’ve seen you be
I was always hiding but you always saw beneath
I was shaking at the knees but you wouldn’t leave me be
Then we held each other tight
And you were everything I need

So please, please know

When the shots fly, after midnight
When there’s dark skies, I’m your ally
You need to know
Even when stars shine, I’d take a red eye
Sit by your bedside
You need to know
When there’s no light, you’re waiting for sunrise
I can hear your cries
You need to know
You better believe I’m ready to remind
I’m still your ally
You need to know
Please know
Just don’t let go

When the shots fly, after midnight
When there’s dark skies, I’m your ally
You need to know
Even when stars shine, I’d take a red eye
Sit by your bedside
You need to know
When there’s no light, you’re waiting for sunrise
I can hear your cries
You need to know
You better believe I’m ready to remind
I’m still your ally
You need to know
You need to know
You need to know
