Jars Of Clay - Collide Lyrics

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, I collide with love as an elusive state of mind
I know there's something else it's supposed to be
I, I, I collide with love as an elusive state of mind
Something's killing me

Tearful confessions have watered down and broken down
The chance for unrequited love to finally reach it's wall
You're waiting for the axe to fall
But can't you see it lying on the ground?

I, I, I collide, with love as an elusive state of mind
I know there's something else it's supposed to be
I, I, I collide with love as an elusive state of mind
Something's killing me

You could be the best one at cleaning up this mess
Be the best one, be the best one, be the best one

I, I, I collide, with love as an elusive state of mind
I know there's something else it's supposed to be
I, I, I collide with love as an elusive state of mind
Something's killing me

I, I, I collide, with love as an elusive state of mind
I know there's something else it's supposed to be
I, I, I collide with love as an elusive state of mind
Something's, something's killin', something's killin' me

You could be the best one at cleaning up this [Incomprehensible] mess
(Love as an elusive state of mind)
(Love as an elusive state of mind)
You could be the best one at cleaning up this [Incomprehensible] mess
(Love as an elusive state of mind)

I know there's something else it's supposed to be
I know there's something else it's supposed to be
I know there's something else it's supposed to be
I know there's something else it's supposed to be

I know there's something else it's supposed to be
(Love as an elusive state of mind)
(Love as an elusive state of mind)
