Sunset

The dawn is breaking
A light shining through
You’re barely waking
And I’m tangled up in you

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 first 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

Don’t stop here..
I lost my place..
I’m close behind.

"Collide" — Howie Day

Driving home today, I turned my radio off and just let my mind wander through the silence. Of all the hundreds of things I could have been thinking about..I found my way to this song. It is a truly beautiful song with a meaning far deeper than I am capable of comprehending at 7am.

The line that gets me the most:

"I’ve found I’m scared to know I’m always on your mind.."

And I think that sums up where I am right now. Scared. Terrified actually. And yet more at ease than I have been in a long time. Life is confusing. End of rant.
