Open up your box of sunshine
And smile as confetti comes raining down on you
You feel a lot like the good guy, do you know why
Everything's so blue

Well, love is fire and the coals are barely burning
Cold fills the emptiness that fills this empty place
I taught you to walk but then you ran away from me
And that's not how it's supposed to be

I, I collide with love as an elusive state of mind
I know there's something else it's supposed to be
I, I collide with love as an elusive state of mind
Something's killing me!

Tearful confessions have watered down and broken down
A chance for unrequited love to finally reach its wall
You're waiting for the axe to fall
Can't you see it lying on the ground?

I, I collide with love as an elusive state of mind
I know there's something else it's supposed to be
I, I collide with love as an elusive state of mind
Something's killing me!

You could be the best one at cleaning up this mess
You could be the best one, be the best one, be the best one
I, I, I, I, I collide with love as an elusive state of mind
I know there's something else it's supposed to be
I, I collide with love as an elusive state of mind
Something's killing me!

I, I collide with love as an elusive state of mind
I know there's something else it's supposed to be
I, I collide with love as an elusive state of mind
Something's, something's killing, something's killing me!

You could be the best one at cleaning up this filthy mess
Love is an elusive state of mind
You could be the best one at cleaning up this filthy mess
Love is an elusive state of mind

I know there's something else it's supposed to be
I know there's something else it's supposed to be
I know there's something else it's supposed to be
I know there's something else it's supposed to be

Love is an elusive state of mind
Love is an elusive state of mind
