When Two Worlds Collide Lyrics by John Prine

In Spite of Ourselves

1999

Your world was so different from mine, don't you see?
And we couldn't be close, though we tried
We both reached for heavens, but ours weren't the same
That's what happens when two worlds collide

Your world was made up of things sweet and good
And my world could never fit in, I wish it could
Two hearts lie in shambles and oh, how they've cried
That's what happens when two worlds collide

Your world was made up of things sweet and good
My world could never fit in, I wish it could
Two hearts lie in shambles and oh, how they've cried
That's what happens when two worlds collide
That's what happens when two worlds collide
