According to lead singer Robin Wilson in an March of 2008 interview Wilson stated that
“Allison Road is more a place of joy, I suppose. I was in a good place when I wrote that. I was thinking very romantic thoughts when I wrote that song and those lyrics. There really is an Allison Road; the girl’s...
[Verse 1]
I've lost my mind
On what I'd find
And all of the pressure that I left behind
On Allison Road
Fools in the rain
And if the sun gets through
Fires in the heaven of the eyes I knew
On Allison Road
[Pre-Chorus]
Well, dark clouds fall in when the moon was near
Birds fly by a.m. in her bedroom stare
There was no telling what I might find
And I couldn't see I was lost at the time
[Chorus]
On Allison Road
Yeah, I didn't know I was lost at the time
On Allison Road
[Verse 2]
So she fills up her sails
With my wasted breath
And each one's more wasted than the others, you can bet
On Allison Road
Now I can't hide (On Allison Road)
So why not drive? (On Allison Road)
I know I wanna love her, but I can't decide
On Allison Road
[Pre-Chorus]
And I didn't know I was lost at the time
Eyes in the sun where the road wasn't wide
And I went looking for an exit sign
All I wanted to find tonight
[Chorus]
On Allison Road
Yeah, I didn't know I was lost at the time
On Allison Road
[Bridge]
Well, I've lost my mind
And if the sun gets through
Fires in the heaven of the eyes I knew
On Allison Road
[Outro]
On Allison Road (On Allison Road)
