​nail to the heart

[Verse 1]
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 pounded, but she didn’t hear it
It’ll never beat that loudly again

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
She said, “We have what it takes to win”
Her fist clenched as she said it
Thе lightning crackled underneath hеr 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”

[Chorus]
Allison
I see you shining in the dark
Allison
You drove a nail right through the park
In the halo of the stadium light
You looked like you might just take flight
Outta here
Outta here

[Bridge]
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”

How can we be so far apart?
