[Verse 1 – Voice A] You brought an answer I rejected I brought a truth you couldn’t use We sat across the table With nothing we could prove [Verse 1 – Voice B] You heard an attack in every question I heard a wall in every pause We kept defending different stories Like only one of them was ours [Pre-Chorus – Both] Then the silence hit the table And neither one of us withdrew For one uncomfortable second I could see the space in you [Chorus – Both] Collision Something new begins In the distance between Where you end and I begin Collision I don’t have to be you To reach beyond the limit Of the world I thought I knew We don’t have to agree We don’t have to win Let the fracture stay between us And keep speaking through it [Verse 2 – Voice A] I heard your breathing change its rhythm Before I understood your words [Verse 2 – Voice B] I watched you try to say it over And the second version hurt less [Pre-Chorus – Both] Understanding isn’t matching It is standing close enough To let another person’s difference Make your own horizon move [Chorus – Both] Collision Something new begins In the distance between Where you end and I begin Collision I don’t have to be you To reach beyond the limit Of the world I thought I knew We don’t have to agree We don’t have to win Let the fracture stay between us And keep speaking through it [Spoken Break] Understanding Does not mean becoming the same It means remaining different Without walking away [Final Chorus] Collision Let the edges show There are roads we only find When our separate meanings cross Collision I am not here to change you I am here to let your presence Change the borders of my view We can disagree We can still remain Not because the friction vanished But because we chose to stay
