- Collide LyricsOpen 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 collide, with love as an elusive state of mind
I know there's something else it's supposed to be
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 its wall
You're waiting for the axe to fall
Can't you see it lying on the ground?
You could be the best one at cleaning up this mess
Be the best one, be the best one, be the best one
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 collide, with love as an elusive state of mind
I know there's something else it's supposed to be
Something's killing me!
Tearful confessions have watered down and broken down
The chance for unrequited love to finally reach its wall
You're waiting for the axe to fall
Can't you see it lying on the ground?
You could be the best one at cleaning up this mess
Be the best one, be the best one, be the best one

When we look deeper into its meaning, in Jars of Clay’s 'Collide', love is treated as a very complicated and hard-to-pin-down thing, and presented at the same time as a very powerful thing that could lift up or, on the contrary, destroy one. By the metaphor 'colliding with love' the author refers to the difficult and sometimes painful side of seeking one's true love. The content of the lyrics revolves around the ideas of love, heartbreak, angst, reflection, and despair, among others. Moving concurrently, the song highlights the perplexing nature of love, emotional turmoil, and suffering, unreciprocated love and hope, and resolution.

The choice of words and imagery, though not very graphic, still create a certain vibe of sorrow and fight that perhaps only older listeners could grasp fully.
