Collars

In this kind of sunshine, it makes me squint at the light,

I can’t see your smile so clear, but I can hear it in your voice,

And I can tell what you’re smiling at, (smiling at),

It’s not me, woah no, I don’t do that to you,

They only do that to you, and I am much different.

 

They force you into their collars,

They force you into their boxes.

They take away all of your colors.

Oh…

 

And here, you stand,

A stranger, too,

I pretend I don’t know you,

Not yet, Not anymore.

Not anymore,

A stranger.

 

Dance beneath the wind and moonlight,

Your faults can’t be seen so clear tonight,

I’m only a few back, I guess it’s a little hard to tell,

Who’s wrong here, when you keep messing up,

And I keep on pretending it’s okay.

But no,

But no, it’s not okay.

 

They force you into their collars,

And they fit you into ther boxes,

They take away all of you colors,

Oh..

And here, you stand,

A stranger, too,

I pretend I don’t know you,

Not yet, Not anymore.

Not anymore,

A stranger.

 

I’m not a stranger, not yet, not anymore,

Not a stranger, not a stranger,

Look in your face, do I see a friend?

Not a stranger, not a stranger, not yet, not anymore.

They only do that to you, and I am much different.

They only do that to me, not you, are you different? (like me)

They only do that to you, and I am much different.

They only do that to me, not you, are you different? (like me)

They only do that to you, and I am much different.

They only do that to me, not you, are you different? (like me)

 

They force you into their collars,

They force you into their boxes.

They take away all of your colors.

Oh…

 

And here, you stand,

A stranger, too,

I pretend I don’t know you,

Not yet, Not anymore.

Not anymore,

A stranger.

  (like me) (like me) (like me)
