The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Everybody's looking for the next in line to love
And then ignore
Put out and put away
And I'd be happy just to be
Relieved from duty right away
I know what's going to happen to me
When people talk about love
They're painting pictures of
Someone's pretty side
Go look yourself in the face
And watch the worlds collide
And watch the worlds collide
I'm waiting for a bus to take
My thoughts away from us
And drop me off far away from you
Because my feelings never changed a bit
I'm waiting to get over it
But I know what it is I have to do
When people talk about love
They're painting pictures of
Someone's pretty side
I look myself in the face
And watch the worlds collide
And watch the worlds collide
And watch the worlds collide
