Collide

Howie Day wrote the song with Better Than Ezra frontman Kevin Griffin, who told us the meaning behind it: "That song lyrically is about people who come together despite being different, and this song, 'Collide,' is about a person who is kind of closed off and insular and not a gregarious person, coming together with someone who is. And that despite being two different types of people, you still come together and find a common ground. And then literally colliding into one another and how life has a way of doing that."

[Verse 1] 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 Where I follow, you'll go I worry I won't see your face Light up again [Chorus] Even the best fall down sometimes Even the wrong words seem to rhyme Out of the doubt that fills my mind I somehow find you and I collide [Verse 2] I'm quiet you know You make a first impression I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind [Chorus] Even the best fall down sometimes Even the stars refuse to shine Out of the back you fall in time I somehow find you and I collide [Bridge] Don't stop here I lost my place I'm close behind [Chorus] 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 [Outro] You finally find you and I collide You finally find you and I collide
