Thought that my pride was on the mend before it shattered I'd like to think that I'd fix it on my own, but that's the matter 'Cause I'd go and throw it all away to save my ego And the empty prize is I get to be alone So what do I know? But when I lose the way You keep me aiming true There's nothing out of view (Jump on through over to you!) You're my ally-alli, I will take you in so gladly Though the road's been long and winding, I'm so proud to call you family You're my ally, olly oxen free to take you with me I'm just making up the hours, how I needed you so badly Thought I could make it on my own, not even nearly But I'm scared to say that there ain't no other way (But now I see it all so clearly) I am no island, I'm a piece of something bigger And I work the best when your sweet heart gets to rest next to my bitter (Oh it's so much better this way) So we keep our hands held tight And shoot toward the moon You might catch a glimpse or two (Break right through over to you!) You're my ally-alli, I will take you in so gladly Though the road's been long and winding, I'm so proud to call you family You're my ally, olly oxen free to take you with me I'm just making up the hours, how I needed you so badly You're my ally-alli, I will take you in so gladly I've been hopelessly awaiting what was always right beside me You're my ally, alleyway between the peaks and valleys I'm just making up the hours, how I needed you so badly (Jump on through over to you!) Keep my head held high Green and red so bright, illuminate the night (Break right through over to you!) You're my ally-alli, I will take you in so gladly I've been waiting all this time to say I needed you so badly You're my ally, olly oxen free to take you with me So it's true, there's nothing left to do (Jump on through over to you!) You're my ally-alli, I will take you in so gladly I couldn't find myself without you, you just came along and saved me You're my ally, alleyway between the peaks and valleys I'm just making up the hours, how I needed you so badly
