Collide ~ Howie Day
Is it true?
True that I am weak…….
Weak as a child who is lost in the crowd?
“The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You’re barely waking
And I’m tangled up in you, yeah”
As I push my way through the crowd……hoping a hand will hold me any moment now……
“I’m open, you’re closed
Where I follow, you’ll go
I worry I won’t see your face
Light up again”
My little hands stopping strangers………they stop to look at me………..strangers with an expression that I don’t understand………..walk on……
“I’m quiet you know
You make a first impression
I’ve found I’m scared to know
I’m always on your mind”
Voices……I turn around……..
“Don’t stop here
I lost my place
I’m close behind”

“Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find you and I collide”
