[Elliott Smith - I Didn't Understand / Watch the Worlds Collide lyrics]
Everybody's looking for the next
In line to love and then ignore
Put out and put away
And I'd be happy just to be
Relieved from duty right away
I know what's going to happen to me
When people talk about love
They're painting pictures of
Someone's pretty side
Go look yourself in the face
And watch the worlds collide
And watch the worlds collide
I'm waiting for a bus to take
My thoughts away from us
And drop me off far away from you
Because my feelings never changed a bit
I'm waiting to get over it
But I know what it is I have to do
When people talk about love
They're painting pictures of
Someone's pretty side
I look myself in the face
And watch the worlds collide
And watch the worlds collide
And watch the worlds collide
Thought you'd be looking for the
Next in line to love
Then ignore, put out, and put away
And so you'd soon be leaving me
Alone like I'm supposed to be
Tonight, tomorrow, and every day
There's nothing here that you'll miss
I can guarantee you this is a cloud of smoke
Trying to occupy space what a fucking joke
What a fucking joke
I waited for a bus to separate the both of us
And take me off, far away from you
'Cos my feelings never change a bit
I always feel like shit
I don't know why, I guess that I just do
You once talked to me about love
And you painted pictures of a never-neverland
And I could have gone to that place
But I didn't understand i didn't understand
I didn't understand
In line to love and then ignore
Put out and put away
And I'd be happy just to be
Relieved from duty right away
I know what's going to happen to me
When people talk about love
They're painting pictures of
Someone's pretty side
Go look yourself in the face
And watch the worlds collide
And watch the worlds collide
I'm waiting for a bus to take
My thoughts away from us
And drop me off far away from you
Because my feelings never changed a bit
I'm waiting to get over it
But I know what it is I have to do
When people talk about love
They're painting pictures of
Someone's pretty side
I look myself in the face
And watch the worlds collide
And watch the worlds collide
And watch the worlds collide
Thought you'd be looking for the
Next in line to love
Then ignore, put out, and put away
And so you'd soon be leaving me
Alone like I'm supposed to be
Tonight, tomorrow, and every day
There's nothing here that you'll miss
I can guarantee you this is a cloud of smoke
Trying to occupy space what a fucking joke
What a fucking joke
I waited for a bus to separate the both of us
And take me off, far away from you
'Cos my feelings never change a bit
I always feel like shit
I don't know why, I guess that I just do
You once talked to me about love
And you painted pictures of a never-neverland
And I could have gone to that place
But I didn't understand i didn't understand
I didn't understand
