Collide (Acoustic Version) Lyrics
Howie Day
Lyrics
The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you
Yeah
I'm open, you're closed
I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again
Even the best fall down sometimes
And even the wrong words seem to rhyme
And out of the doubt that fills your mind
I somehow find you and I collide
I'm quiet, you know
You make a first impression
Well, I've found I'm scared to know I'm
Always on your mind
Well, even the best fall down sometimes
And even the stars refuse to shine
And out of the back you fall in time
I somehow find, you and I collide
Well, don't stop here
And I've lost my place
And I'm close behind
I'm close behind
Well, even the best fall down sometimes
And even the wrong words seem to rhyme
And out of the doubt that fills your mind, yeah
You finally find that you and I collide
You finally find that you and I collide
You finally find
You and I
You and I... I... I... no
Well I... I
Well I... I... I... found
You
