Collin

< I was going to call this something else, but since I'd already used Collin, it was handy; the other name just wasn't right, and if a name doesn't just come to me, then I know I'm not going to be able to think of one. Consequently, I changed the song as well as the title. Just so you know, this has absolutely nothing to do with me, other than the fact that I wrote it.>

Lights out,

Despair hangs over me like a dark cloud.

Did you just call my name?

How could that be;

You said you'd never see me again.

I'm dreaming,

They're sweeping all our mem'ries from the street.

I'm having trouble falling asleep-

I wish you'd come and talk to me.

Collin!

You left me all alone!

Collin!

Now where will I go?

Collin,

Don't let the devil get my soul,

Even if there's  nowhere else for me to go.

Dancing,

I'm sure that we are dancing once again.

I was so scared;

I thought it was the last time I'd hold your hand.

Muddy boot prints,

From when you chased me down the hall.

Or am I just conjuring up proof,

Proof that you loved me at all?

Collin!

You left me all alone!

Collin!

Now where will I go?

Collin,

Don't let the devil get my soul,

Even if there's nowhere else for me to go.

Dark beer,

I've never been drunk before.

Are you really here, or am I just staring at the door?

Dusty books,

I haven't read them in a long time,

'Guess I thought I didn't need their stories anymore,

'Cause I was finally living mine!

Collin!

You left me all alone!

Collin!

Now where will I go?

Collin,

Don't let the devil get my soul,

Even if there's nowhere else for me to go.

Alarm clock,

Ringing in my ears,

And I thought,

You voice was the only sound that could bring me tears,

Young dancers,

Don't let them near me,

My heart's still yours-

I'm not really free!

Collin!

You left me all alone!

Collin!

Now where will I go?

Collin,

Don't let the devil get my soul,

Even if there's nowhere else for me to go.
