Collide
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.
Open up your box of sunshine
And smile as confetti comes raining down on you
You feel a lot like the good guy, but do you know why?
Everything's so blue
Well, love is fire and the coals are barely burning
Cold fills the emptiness that fills this empty place
I taught you the walk but then you ran away from me
And that's not how it's supposed to be
I, I collide with love as an elusive state of mind
I know there's something else it's supposed to be
I, I collide with love as an elusive state of mind
Something's killing me!
Tearful confessions have watered down, broken down
The chance for unrequited love to finally reach it's wall
You're waiting for the ax to fall
But can't you see it lying on the ground?
I, I collide with love as an elusive state of mind
I know there's something else it's supposed to be
I, I collide with love as an elusive state of mind
Something's killing me!
You could be the best one cleaning up this mess
You could be the best one, be the best one, be the best one
