Collide and Cry

You can’t tell me that I didn’t even try
Staring at the concrete, the sun still blinds my eyes
Television playing, the reflection a crazy glow
Wondering to myself now was there ever a time I said no

No compromise, too stubborn to even try
Race around each other ‘till we collide and cry
Collide and cry, here’s to years gone by, collide and cry

When the bars close you bring all your best friends home
The after party rolls, do you ever want to be alone
Dressed up like an angel, the vision brings me such dread
I’m jealous of your spirit ‘cause mine’s hanging just by a thread

No compromise, too stubborn to even try
Race around each other ‘till we collide and cry
Collide and cry, here’s to years gone by, collide and cry

Oh, you’re playing upon my innocence
And ‘m not complaining, just my two cents

Embers of an attitude burning inside my head
My words don’t affect you, just forget about all I’ve said
Bedroom floor and combat boots, you only wear those at night
Cigarettes and bus stops, in this town you’re a shiny light
