Feeling the time peel away at my life again.
As memories combine, not sure where I've ever been.
Cause it's the D in Detroit which scares me to no end.
I'll count to ten.
When living this down makes so much sense.

We collide and onward we do fly
We collide and onward we do fly,
Onward until we hit again.

I kept your picture just behind the eye those weeks
when our distance grew.
Drove north where I found you waiting in Des Moines,
thank God I'm not losing you
And girl I hope you're not alone, and sleep through this weather
And girl I hope you're whole again, back home we'll sleep better.

We collide and onward we do fly
We collide and onward we do fly

I kept your picture just behind the eye those weeks
when our distance grew.
Drove north where I found you waiting in Des Moines,
thank God I'm not losing you
And girl I hope you're not alone, and sleep through this weather
And girl I hope you're whole again, back home we'll sleep better
