It's been a rough few weeks...while I was talking to Gerd today, my little brother came to tell me he just learned a new song and I had to hear it. So after exchanging words and fighting tears and resolving to fix the things that were causing trouble, I went to hear my little brother play his guitar. Never has this song meant so much to me. I think it was a combination of the timing, the way my brother played it (it's meant to be performed by one accoustic guitar and a smooth southern voice, I swear!), and the way it seemed that Jake knew that was exactly what I needed to hear. While he was playing, he'd glance up to see how I was responding. He saw I was crying, just shook his head and smiled. He's gonna be awesome. Collide Lyrics by Howie Day 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 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 I'm quiet you know You make a frist impression I've found I'm scared to know I'm always on your mind 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 Even the best fall down sometimes Even the wrong words seem to ryhme 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
