would someone help me with some of these lyrics? I love the song and I'm hoping that the meaning within is as strong as my fondness for the song. |

Anyone could make up their own interpretation..and usually it's the result of what's happening in that person's life. So here's mine:
“Collide” by Howie Day = A song about soulmates finally colliding.
|''|The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You're barely waking
And I'm tangled up in you
Yeah|''|
= An epiphany had happened for a man. He realizes now that he does love a girl from his past. As for the girl, she’s slowly (and just barely) allowing him to pursue her once again.
|''|I'm open, you're closed
Where I follow, you'll go
I worry I won't see your face
Light up again|''|
= He wants to try again, but she is still not sure. He plans to not let her go again. However, he’s afraid that she will refuse, and that he’ll never see her ever again. (He knows that only he can make her “light up.”
|''|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|''|
= Anybody can make a mistake. Nobody is perfect. He realizes that he was wrong about not loving her, and after many signs that he's encountered, he understands that they were really meant to be.
|''|I'm quiet, you know
You make a first impression
I've found I'm scared to know
I'm always on your mind|''|
= They’re obviously opposites. He sees himself weak in some way, while the woman is a source of strength. This intimidation is probably why they broke up in the first place. And now, he has just learned that she never forgot him. He has been on her mind all along, and it scares him to know that someone so great can actually love him back. What also scares him is that now that he knows that a relationship can exist again, he’s worried about the future. The epiphany came so quickly---can they really give it another try and succeed?
|''|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|''|
= Again, the man is saying that he made a mistake. He could have achieved real happiness, but refused. Time has passed since they were together, and he's sorry for that time lost.
|''|Don't stop here
I've lost my place
I'm close behind|''|
= Destiny put the two on a path to each other, and he admits that he had made a mistake in the past---he wandered off destiny’s path. He has come to a realization and now, he’s back on track, close to where he had once been on the path. As for the girl, he doesn’t want the girl to stop allowing him to pursue her. He doesn’t want her to stop her journey to him as well.
|''|Even the best fall down sometimes
Even the wrong words seem to rhyme
Out of the doubt that fills your mind
You finally find, you and I collide|''|
= NOW the girl realizes that they were meant to be. She made the mistake of hesitating and having doubts about a second chance at love. She does love him and does accept his proposal for a second try because she, too, sees the the signs.
|''|You finally find
You and I collide
You finally find
You and I collide|''|
Collision = |''|a brief dynamic event of the close approach of two or more particles(persons) resulting in an abrupt change of momentum or exchange of energy|''|---a stronger, deeper love. As individuals, they each can love, but once collided as one, their love is the greatest possible. |
