Collide Lyrics by Odette

To a Stranger

2017

(Ooo ahah, Ooo ahah)
(Ooo ahah, Ooo ahah)

[Verse 1]
I'm wounded
I'm meeker than if I was strong
I'm falling in and out of love
But you see
I'm movin' so slow

And if I were to break in two
And these words that I wrote for you
Escape from me like embers
Dancing round a fire
That is slowly burning out

[Chorus]
I would tell you to hold on, to wait
I'd tell you to slow down, to stay
Just the simplest touch leaves a burn on me
The simplest touch leaves a burn on me

I'd tell you to hold on, to wait
I'd tell you to slow down, to stay
Just the simplest touch leaves a burn on me
The simplest touch leaves a burn on me
(Ooo ahah, Ooo ahah)

[Verse 2]
I'm losing
Can barely even hold my own
You're blind and you won't hear no more
Oh this rage is insatiable

And if you were to up the heat
Throw the fire inside of me
I'm like the sun that warms the ocean
The moment that the night falls
I will leave you cold and empty

[Chorus]
Hold on, wait [Ooo ahah, Ooo ahah]
Oh, won't you slow down and stay? [Ooo ahah, Ooo ahah]
Just the simplest touch leaves a burn on me
The simplest touch leaves a burn on me

Oh, don't walk away [Ooo ahah, Ooo ahah]
Oh, won't you slow down and stay? [Ooo ahah, Ooo ahah]
Oh I can't get these burns off me
Oh no, I can't get these burns off me, oh
(Ooo ahah, Ooo ahah)

[Bridge]
Set alight my skin
And I'll melt like ice
(Hold onto me, hold onto me)
I could drift within
Waves of your embrace
(Hold onto me, hold onto me)

Oh, we've got no space between us
It's just you and I in flames
And we're burning on the inside
But outside we seem the same

There's no clarity
When our worlds collide
(Hold onto me, hold onto me)

(Ooo ahah, Ooo ahah)
Hold onto me, hold onto me
Hold onto me, hold onto me
