Lyrics:
[Sara: This song is called Collide
Tegan: I just sit here]
Higher the night to go
Someone I'd like to know
You rage and shout out at the sun
You rage and shout out at heaven
But I'm so tired of pretending that I am so strong
When I don't even know yet what it is that makes you seem so wrong
Maybe I should go, maybe I should know
But I don't have a clue
No, I don't have a clue
Somewhere I have been, will you decide to go?
Somewhere I have been, will you decide to go?
Somewhere I have been, will you decide to collide with me?
Collide with me, collide with me, oh
Will you collide with me? Collide with me, collide with me, oh
Higher the night to go
She's someone I'd like to know
You rage and shout out at the sun
You rage and shout out at heaven
But I'm so tired of pretending that I am so strong
When I don't even know yet what it is that makes you seem so wrong
Maybe I should go, maybe I should know
But I don't have a clue
No, I don't have a clue
Somewhere I have been, will you decide to go?
Somewhere I have been, will you decide to go?
Somewhere I have been, will you decide to collide with me?
Collide with me, collide with me, oh
Will you collide with me? Collide with me, collide with me, oh
So tired of pretending that I am so strong
When I don't even know yet what it is that makes you seem so wrong
