Howie Day – Collide Lyrics 7 years ago
Been debating for 9 yrs if this is "our song" or not.

The dawn is breaking (AM)
A light shining through( Sunrise)
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you( He's already making love to me)
Yeah

I'm open, you're closed (We're opposites in so many ways)
Where I follow, you'll go (A fudge or studder for wher I go he'd follow as if to say he's in love and basically would do anything I say)
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again( Wonders if I'll leave and never contact him ever again)

Even the best fall down sometimes ( We all get hit with love and sometimes it is not right)
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme (When in love, everything is a poetic poem)
Out of the doubt that fills my mind
I somehow find
You and I collide (We met for a reason, why not love)

I'm quiet you know
You make a first impression
I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind ( he wishes)

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

Don't stop here
I've 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

You finally find
You and I collide
You finally find
You and I collide

Rod Stewart – Forever Young Lyrics 7 years ago
May the good Lord be with you down every road you roam.(May God be with you at all times in life)
And may sunshine and happiness surround you when you're far from home.
And my you grow to be proud, dignified and true.
And do unto others as you'd have done to you.
Be courageous and be brave.
And in my heart you'll always stay

Forever young. (Forever young)
Forever young. (Forever young)

May good fortune be with you, may your guiding light be strong,
Build a stairway to heaven with a prince or a vagabond.(Have friends when you do die from every aspec of life. Rich, poor, different and unique, broad spectrum of friends)
And may you never love in vain.
And in my heart you will remain

Forever young. (Forever young)
Forever young. (Forever young)
Forever young. Forever young

And when you fin'lly fly away, I'll be hoping that I served you well.(When you grow up and live your own life, I really hope I did my best to raise you and prepare you for the world)
For all the wisdom of a lifetime, no one can ever tell.
But whatever road you choose, I'm right behind you win or lose, (Unconditional love )

Forever young. (Forever young)
Forever young. (Forever young)
Forever young. Forever young
For forever young

Bob Dylan – Forever Young Lyrics 7 years ago
May God's bless and keep you always(I pray God never lets you change your good morally awesome self)
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others(Obey the Lord by being kind)
And let others do for you

May you build a ladder to the stars(Make it to Heaven by being a good person on earth)
And climb on every rung

May you stay
Forever young(After death, I pray you stay at your happiest, youngest place in your life that you loved the most)

Forever young
Forever young
May you stay
Forever young

May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you(See the positive and not the negative in stuff)

May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong(Keep being a voice of your own beliefs and back em up)
And may you stay
Forever young

Forever young
Forever young
May you stay
Forever young

May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift(Things change, but hope you don't let them soften you, depress you, hopes your going to weather life and still be all that you are.)

May your heart always be joyful
May your song always be sung
And may you stay
Forever young

Forever young
Forever young
May you stay
Forever young

Bob Dylan – Blowin' in the Wind Lyrics 7 years ago
How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man?

(How old is old enough/ how much proof does society need for society to respect an adult for being grown.)

How many seas must a white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand?

(How long must the innocent (white doves) suffer till they have true peace, acceptance,freedom, rights etc.)

Yes, and how many times must the cannon balls fly
Before they're forever banned?

(Modern day question to guns and gun laws being abolished and guns forbidden in an attempt to end violence)

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

(In other words, the answers of our questions are forever being asked again and again, flowing past us, yet not ever answered and allowed to just keep going on)

Yes, and how many years can a mountain exist
Before it's washed to the sea?

(How far will the earth evolve before there is change/) (How long will it take America to perfect things that are social issues, answer is a long time as evolution takes millions of years)

Yes, and how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free?

(Equal rights reference, Civil rights)

Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see?

(Suggests society not doing anything in an actual situation to help yet they ignore things bc its easier or they are afraid)

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

Yes, and how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky?

(Refers to how long it takes a person to give themselves to God)

Yes, and how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry?

(Exaggeration of ears, but comparrison but how do you get people to have empathy for others?)

Yes, and how many deaths will it take 'till he knows
That too many people have died?

(How many people must die over the same thing that should be already have done been solved.)

The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind
The answer is blowin' in the wind

(The answer is there but people just let it "breeze" on past without attempting to get it.)

Lifehouse – From Where You Are Lyrics 7 years ago
So far away from where you are (Momma is in heaven and I'm here on earth, which is most likely far away from what we know)
These miles have torn us worlds apart
And I miss you
Yeah, I miss you
So far away from where you are
Standing underneath the stars (A sad depressing, lonely night looking at the sky and the stars getting lost in grief)
And I wish you were here

I miss the years that were erased (When Momma died, years that should of been will never be inevitably)
I miss the way the sunshine would light up your face (Momma has a happiness and comfort and unconditional love like no other.)
I miss all the little things I never thought that they?d mean everything to me (All the memories through life, were taken for granite. Even just the slightest thing when your Momma dies you miss.)
Yeah, I miss you
And I wish you were here

I feel the beating of your heart (I know you loved me. But reference to the heart suggests feeling it and not for long.)
I see the shadows of your face (THE "SHADOW" OPPOSITE OF A PREVIOUS LYRIC OF "SUNSHINE LIGHTING UP THE FACE" IS SYMBOLIC OF GRIMNESS AND DEATH AND SORROW AND END.)
Just know that wherever you are (Implies heaven but not sure the singer truly believes in heaven)
Yeah, I miss you
And I wish you were here

I miss the years that were erased (The time that got taken from them )
I miss the way the sunshine would light up your face
I miss all the little things
I never thought that they?d mean everything to me
Yeah, I miss you
And I wish you were here

So far away from where you are
These miles have torn us worlds apart
And I miss you
Yeah, I miss you
And I wish you were here

Soul Asylum – Runaway Train Lyrics 7 years ago
Call you up in the middle of the night
Like a firefly without a light
You were there like a slow torch burning
I was a key that could use a little turning

(Called for advice)

So tired that I couldn't even sleep
So many secrets I couldn't keep
Promised myself I wouldn't weep
One more promise I couldn't keep

(His confession of his issues ailing him)

It seems no one can help me now
I'm in too deep
There's no way out
This time I have really led myself astray

(Depression)

Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there

(Insanity)

Can you help me remember how to smile
Make it somehow all seem worthwhile
How on earth did I get so jaded
Life's mystery seems so faded

(Looking for someone else to make him happy but...)

I can go where no one else can go
I know what no one else knows
Here I am just drownin' in the rain
With a ticket for a runaway train

(Dreaming of picking up and leaving and starting a new life.)

Everything is cut and dry
Day and night, earth and sky
Somehow I just don't believe it

(Reality just don't seem real)

Runaway train never going back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there

Bought a ticket for a runaway train
Like a madman laughin' at the rain
Little out of touch, little insane
Just easier than dealing with the pain

(Running from his problems)

Runaway train never comin' back
Wrong way on a one way track
Seems like I should be getting somewhere
Somehow I'm neither here nor there

Runaway train never comin' back
Runaway train tearin' up the track
Runaway train burnin' in my veins
Runaway but it always seems the same

(Insanity)

Bob Seger – Against the Wind Lyrics 7 years ago
It seems like yesterday
But it was long ago
Janey was lovely she was the queen of my nights (A friend of mine, Janie, RIP.)
There in the darkness with the radio playing low, and
And the secrets that we shared
The mountains that we moved
Caught like a wildfire out of control
'Til there was nothing left to burn and nothing left to prove
And I remember what she said to me
How she swore that it never would end
I remember how she held me oh-so-tight
Wish I didn't know now what I didn't know then

Against the wind
We were runnin' against the wind
We were young and strong, we were runnin' against the wind

The years rolled slowly past
And I found myself alone
Surrounded by strangers I thought were my friends
I found myself further and further from my home, and I
Guess I lost my way
There were oh-so-many roads
I was living to run and running to live
Never worried about paying or even how much I owed
Moving eight miles a minute for months at a time
Breaking all of the rules that would bend
I began to find myself searching
Searching for shelter again and again

Against the wind
A little something against the wind
I found myself seeking shelter against the wind

Well those drifter's days are past me now
I've got so much more to think about
Deadlines and commitments
What to leave in, what to leave out

Against the wind
I'm still runnin' against the wind
I'm older now but still runnin' against the wind
Well I'm older now and still runnin'
Against the wind
Against the wind
Against the wind

Still runnin' (against the wind)
I'm still runnin' against the wind
(Against the wind) I'm still runnin'
(Against the wind)
I'm still runnin' against the wind
(Against the wind) still runnin'
(Against the wind)runnin' against the wind, runnin' against the wind
(Against the wind) see the young man run
(Against the wind) watch the young man run
(Against the wind) watch the young man runnin'
(Against the wind) he'll be runnin' against the wind
(Against the wind) let the cowboys ride
(Against the wind) aah
(Against the wind) let the cowboys ride
(Against the wind) they'll be ridin' against the wind
(Against the wind) against the wind
(Against the wind) ridin' against the wind...


(It's all about riding a bike freely and rebelliously)

Bad Religion – Sorrow Lyrics 7 years ago
Father can you hear me?
How have I let you down?
I curse the day that I was born
And all the sorrow in this world

(Prayer to God about the way the world is turning out.)

Let me take you to the hurting ground
Where all good men are trampled down
Just to settle a bet that could not be won
Between a prideful father and his son

(Explaining wars, non-peace)

Will you guide me now, for I can't see
A reason for the suffering and this long misery
What if every living soul could be upright and strong
Well, then I do imagine

(His wish and hopes for positive change)

There will be sorrow
Yeah there will be sorrow
And there will be sorrow no more

(One day God will make no more suffering on the earth.)

When all soldiers lay there weapons down
Or when all kings and all queens relinquish their crowns
Or when the only true messiah rescues us from ourselves
It's easy to imagine

(Self explanatory)

There will be sorrow
Yeah there will be sorrow
And there will be sorrow no more

(When Jesus returns, no more pain and sorrow.)

There will be sorrow
Yeah there will be sorrow
And there will be sorrow no more

Yeah there will be sorrow
Yeah there will be sorrow
And there will be sorrow no more

(Some go to hell and some to heaven.)

Cat Stevens – Moonshadow Lyrics 7 years ago
Oh, I'm bein' followed by a moonshadow, moon shadow, moonshadow---
Leapin and hoppin' on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow---

(Symbolic for his past following him.)

And if I ever lose my hands, lose my plough, lose my land,
Oh if I ever lose my hands, Oh if I won't have to work no more.

And if I ever lose my eyes, if my colours all run dry,
Yes if I ever lose my eyes, Oh if I won't have to cry no more.

Oh, I'm bein' followed by a moonshadow, moon shadow, moonshadow---
Leapin and hoppin' on a moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow---

And if I ever lose my legs, I won't moan, and I won't beg,
Yes if I ever lose my legs, Oh if I won't have to walk no more.

And if I ever lose my mouth, all my teeth, north and south,
Yes if I ever lose my mouth, Oh if I won't have to talk...

Did it take long to find me? I asked the faithful light.
Did it take long to find me? And are you gonna stay the night?

Moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow, moonshadow.

(All a positive message for amputies.)

Staind – Outside Lyrics 7 years ago
And you
Can bring me to my knees
Again

(Clearly talking about anxiety)

All the times
That I could beg you please
In vain

(Trying to talk yourself out of the anxiety and panic)

All the times
That I felt insecure
For you

(Talking to his anxiety, blaming the anxiety)

And I leave
My burdens at the door

(He may wish he could, wishful thinking or advice he's heard of how to deal with anxiety)

But I'm on the outside
I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside you're ugly
You're ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

(He's talking to his anxiety. He's describing it. He feels outside of his body and he's looking at it from a third person)

All the times
That I felt like this won't end
Was for you

(Talking about anxietyto his anxiety, turning into panic attack)

And I taste
What I could never have
It's from you

(He gets that "taste" of fear and panic and is not in control.)

All those times
That I tried
My intentions
Full of pride
And I waste
More time than anyone

(All too familiar with this. You try, have good intent, and work hard toward something only to have anxiety kick in and you choose flight over fight and you bail or quit to get that safe feeling and dodge the panic/ anxiety. You realize you fucked it all up, and just wasted time. You feel like a quitter and a big loser.)

But I'm on the outside
I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside you're ugly
You're ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

All the times
That I've cried
All that's wasted
It's all inside

(Explains feeling of remorse from the actions taken during a panic attack)

But I feel
All this pain
Stuffed it down
It's back again

(You feel pain in the sense of having let everyone down, you shove it in the back of your mind hoping to forget it and hope and pray it never comes again, but it comes back again.)

And I lie
Here in bed
All alone
I can't mend

(Socialphobia, staying in bed to avoid people)

And I feel
Tomorrow will be okay

(Anxiety/panic attacks ruin your day so the next is a hopeful fresh start in hopes of no anxiety)

But I'm on the outside
I'm looking in
I can see through you
See your true colors
'Cause inside you're ugly
You're ugly like me
I can see through you
See to the real you

Dave Matthews Band – Crash Into Me Lyrics 7 years ago
You've got your ball
You've got your chain
Tied to me tight tie me up again
Who's got their claws
In you my friend

(Sexual DOM and Sub action described)

Into your heart I'll beat again
Sweet like candy to my soul
Sweet you rock
And sweet you roll

(He loves it. He loves to be humiliated. Her performance is sweet and rocks)

Lost for you I'm so lost for you(He's obeying)
You come crash into me(Lover initiates sxual inter course)
And I come into you,
I come into you (He cums in her)



In a boys dream
In a boys dream

(All just a daydream)

Touch your lips just so I know (A signal ones being too rough)
In your eyes, love, it glows so
I'm bare-boned and crazy for you (He's hard and horney and wants his lover bad.)
When you come crash
Into me, baby
And I come into you
In a boys dream
In a boys dream
If I've gone overboard
Then I'm begging you
To forgive me (If he took any of the roll playing to hard core and too rough)
In my haste
When I'm holding you so girl
Close to me

Oh and you come crash
Into me, baby
And I come into you
Hike up your skirt a little more
And show the world to me (Tease him by showing him just a eek at those undies)
Hike up your skirt a little more
And show your world to me
In a boy's dream, in a boy's dream

Oh I watch you there
Through the window
And I stare at you
You wear nothing but you
Wear it so well (Prob peeping at neighbor during his horney day dream of a DOM rockin his world.)
Tied up and twisted,
The way I'd like to be
For you, for me, come crash
Into me

Baby oh Crash into me
Crash into me
Crash into me
Crash into me

I'm the king of the castle
Your a dirty rascle, crash into me! (Cums)

Staind – Epiphany Lyrics 7 years ago
Your words to me just a whispe
Your face is so unclear
I try to pay attention
Your words just disappear
( Narcissistic cheater can't "hear" his love confronting the infidelity)

'Cause it's always raining in my head (Unclear thoughts and confusion to all the guilt and internal questions)
Forget all the things I should have said

So I speak to you in riddles (Tells his "truth" of his actions, his confession is a mess of an excuse turned riddles)
'Cause my words get in my way (He gets caught in lies and mixes his story up and he literally can't fix it)
I smoke the whole thing to my head
And feel it wash away (Smokes a joint)
'Cause I can't take anymore of this
I want to come apart
And dig myself a little hole
Inside your precious heart (Sincerely sorry for hurting his love and really does want to be respected and loved and can't stop bc he has a problem.)

'Cause it's always raining in my head (Depression and negative thoughts all the time. Low self esteem.)
Forget all the things I should have said

I am nothing more than
A little boy inside (All men are baby boys just bigger, lol)
That cries out for attention (Cheats for the attention of any kind even the negative)
Yet I always try to hide (Tries to fight the cheating urge)
'Cause I talk to you like children (I talk down to you for lack of having to really respect and own the problem so he belittles the lover speaking to them as if they are dumb or the problem)
Though I don't know how I feel (So confused)
But I know I'll do the right thing
If the right thing is revealed (I'l stop cheating and be a good partner once and for all)

'Cause it's always raining in my head
Forget all the things I should have said (Just brushing it off and expecting the lover to too.)( No apologies ever)

James Blunt – Carry You Home Lyrics 7 years ago
Trouble is her only friend and he's back again (Disease. COPD)
Makes her body older than it really is
And she says it's high time she went away (Claims she is dying)
No ones got much to say in this time (Family speechless shocked)
Trouble is the only way is down, down, down

As strong as you were
Tender you got (Sickness lays in)
I'm watching you breathing
For the last time (Literally the last breaths you watch your loved one take when dying)
A song for your heart (COPD affects the heart)
But when it is quiet
I know what it means(She has died)
And I'll carry you home (Respecting the wishes of your loved one to be taken home to die)
I'll carry you home

If she had wings she would fly away
And another day god will give her some
Trouble is the only way is down,down,down

As strong as you were
Tender you got
I'm watching you breathing for the last time
A song for your heart
But when it is quiet
I know what it means

I'll carry you home
I'll carry you home

And they all want pretty
New York City lights
And summers little girl has been taken from the world tonight
But the stars and stripes (The hospice staff wants it to look good haing taken care of the loved one, but the family might disagree a bit)

As strong as you were
Tender you got
I'm watching you breathing for the last time
A song for your heart
But when it is quiet
I know what it means
And i'll carry you home

As strong as you were
Tender you got
I'm watching you breathing for the last time
A song for your heart
But when it is quiet
I know what it means
And I'll carry you home

I'll carry you home

Pink – Glitter In The Air Lyrics 7 years ago
Have you ever fed a lover with just your hands?( I fed my sick dying Momma her food on hospice care)
Close your eyes and trust it, just trust it
Have you ever thrown a fist full of glitter in the air? (I mixed glitter in my Momma's cremains and sprinkled/ threw glitter in the air all over the coast of VB)
Have you ever looked fear in the face
And said I just don't care?(I endured the worst pain in the world of having to watch my Mother on her death bed, scared and anxious and paniced and depressed. I think this lyric means your forced and have no choice and your fight or flight kicks in and you fight! I know looking fear of the enevitable death of my Mother was definately going to happen so I said fuck it and fear disapeared and I became so fearless)

And it's only half past the point of no return (Hospice)
The tip of the iceberg
The sun before the burn
The thunder before the lightning
Breath before the phrase (those last 4 lines explain that its anticipation for those last breaths and complete shut down of a dying person)
Have you ever felt this way?(You don't know how it feels unless it has happened to you)

Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?(
You're whole life waiting on the ring to prove you're not alone(last two lines are examples of that feeling of anxiety and anticipation)
Have you ever been touched so gently you had to cry? (When your loved one dying and holds your hand, both of you knowing whats coming and one of the most passionate moments you can ever have with that person)
Have you ever invited a stranger to come inside?(Poured your heart out in the waiting room in the hospital to a complete stranger and crying)

It's only half past the point of oblivion (Still anticipation)
The hourglass on the table (How long? When? Time is running out surely)
The walk before the run (waithing in sadness and grief)
The breath before the kiss (The breath you take before you do something couragious like "kiss" your Mother good by forever)
And the fear before the flames (Your fears worst I may add, actually happening)
Have you ever felt this way?(Wishing someone to relate with you)

La la la la la la la la

There you are, sitting in the garden
Clutching my coffee,
Calling me sugar
You called me sugar (A vision of my Mother well in a peaceful garden and per haps even heaven)

Have you ever wished for an endless night?(Wanting time to stop and have more time with your loved one)
Lassoed the moon and the stars and pulled that rope tight (The hunger to change things and to control the situation)
Have you ever held your breath and asked yourself
Will it ever get better than tonight?(Will it ever get better?)
Tonight (I think "tonight" means its when it finally happend and the person/ my Momma passed away)

The Fray – How To Save A Life Lyrics 7 years ago
Step one, you say we need to talk (Intervention time)
He walks, you say sit down, it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through (He looks at him as if he knows hes wasting time and its like talking to no one there)
Some sort of window to your right (Just describes like a conference room or psych room)
As he goes left, and you stay right (He talks but is lying about his drug addiction, meanwhile the other friend who cares ain't buying it and is staying on the subject and not letting the lies set off track the real problem here and keeps on the subject)
Between the lines of fear and blame (Addict is scared bc friend is accusing him and he wont admit it)
You begin to wonder why you came
(Friend feels fed up and feels he just can't help him or get through to him. Waste of time he assumes)



Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend (Friend feels to blame for not being able to get through to him and his addiction/ uneducated about thinking he can change his addicted friend but has failed trying so hard)
Somewhere along in the bitterness (Obviously they have a fight and addict kills himself or ods.)
And I would have stayed up with you all night (Friend wishes he'd been there for him physically and he could of stopped the horrific death/ overdose and could of talked him some sence finally)
Had I known how to save a life
(A wish of having the ability to have gotten through to his addicted friend and cured him somehow)

Let him know that you know best (Back in the intervention, Friend explaining his own experiences just llike his)
Cause after all, you do know best
Try to slip past his defense (No reasoning, enforcing rehab)
Without granting innocence (Not feeling bad for him but more like stern)
Lay down a list of what is wrong (List of issues:Depressed, Suicidal, Drug Addict, Hw hes hurting himself and those who love him. A straight confrontation of his shambles he calls life)
The things you've told him all along
And pray to God he hears you
And I pray to God he hears you( Wants desperately for his friend to do the right thing and takes steps toward getting help or admittance to a rehab)(Asks God for help)

Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend (Friend eventually lost the battle w his illnesses)
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice (Back in Intervention: He's defensive and yelling and saying no to treatment)
You lower yours and grant him one last choice (That moment you don't yell because your so extreamly serious about your request that you calmy talk and he repeats his options or rehab)
Drive until you lose the road (Go insane)
Or break with the ones you've followed (Give up)
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

How to save a life (Repeated many times as to extreme guilt in his head, wishing he knew some miracle way to have help his friend and every thing be ok and have been a hero and saved his friend from dying.)
How to save a life

Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Where did I go wrong?
I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

How to save a life

My step sons Mom killed herself and they both get weird when this song comes on they feel they could of been there sooner or something. So sad. But a good song for the situation.

@[jillo1978:14037] Could be drugs or suicide. More likely both. Someone tried to help a depressed peson and now feels to blame for his suicide.

Intervention for sure. It failed, the singer blames himself and is full of guilt and remorse. Sad song.

The singer flips character from one person being his friend and suicidal/deceased cause suicide, to himself being depressed about what his friend did which is killed himself.

The Fray – Look After You Lyrics 7 years ago
I relate these lyrics to the death of my Momma. It's the singer who is passing away and making a promise to "look after" the listener/ lover.

He the singer, is absolutely in love and infatuated with his love. She/ he is his #1. A man should feel like this when in love. So in the dictionary this should be the definition under "person in love with a person, deeply"

Howie Day – Collide Lyrics 7 years ago
The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you
Yeah

(It's early am and he's coming on strong, or he's pursuing sex to wake her.Which is hot in my opinion.)

I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again

(They are seeing each other and opposites attract. They are this. Sarcastically rewording "Where I follow, you'll go" Really is his way of being funny saying he'd follow her anywhere to be with her. He overthinks of losing his opportunity with this relationship)

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

(He's telling himself if it does not work out with them it's ok and we all face rejection sometime of another. "Even the wrong words seem to rhyme" means he's in love but not sure its meant to be, but they are somehow making it working out) Doubt exists. "You and I collide" means, they, in the whole universe, out of everyone they could be with or meet, they do and they come together but perhaps it could mean they missed their fate to be together. Or like they bump heads all the time.)

I'm quiet you know
You make a first impression
I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind

(He's shy, she's concerned with how people view her and keeps herself well as to show others she's "classy" and wants others to think of her in this way" When he's scared to know he's on her mind, he got cold feet because she must of told him she has deep feeling for him. You know we like someone and then lose interest if the pursuit is too easy. )

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

(Again, everyone gets rejected sometimes, "Even the stars refuse to shine" expresses the depression feeling of not getting the affection but instead a rejection. "out of the back you fall in time" Remember "Even the best fall down sometimes?" Well this refers to that. She right on time falls in and prevents the rejection by showing interest after all)

Don't stop here
I've lost my place
I'm close behind

(Keeping persuing him, he's catching up feelings wise)

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

(He projects his doubt on her)

You finally find
You and I collide
You finally find
You and I collide
