over the day i would listen i would play
and far beyond the dawn you left a message of slight alarm
so all the answers came and how they ran me down
and you were nowhere to be found
and all the pleases left beyond the waterfall
it left us wanting every wall

please drop the gun
you never wanted allison
please drop the gun
you never needed allison

i was afraid it was the end of the day
and i had to run i saw a spot forming on the sun
but i could feel the touch before it reached his chest
and i knew what was best
but i refused to believe it could be true
then all the colors saw it too

please drop the gun
you never wanted allison
please drop the gun
you never needed allison

so i found a key
you know they say its darkest just before the dawn
but not a warning of how long
so if you'll please forgive my own simplicity
i'll continue to be free

please drop the gun
you never wanted allison
please drop the gun
you never needed allison
