“Waiting for Cars”, the fast, light, final track on Collection, closes the album with lyrics about insecurity in relationships and being in love with someone who is caught up in escapism.
The song is similar to Color Theory’s “night swimming” in both guitar rhythm and lyrical content.
[Verse 1]
Tell me do you think about me
When I'm lying on your heart?
Tell me do you dream about me
When you sleep out underneath the stars?
'Cause I don't want a hollow smile
I want all that's on your face
And I don't only want to love you
I want something that I can't replace
[Chorus]
Yeah, I want to know what's real
What's been purified to heal my wounds
Tell me is it you?
[Verse 2]
Saw you on the street one summer evening
You were empty as could be
You were lying in the road
Just waiting for the cars to set you free
You asked me if we could run away
Some place nobody would know
But I don't wanna be your fool
If you're not the one who's gonna take me home
[Chorus]
Yeah, I want to know what's real
What I'm so damn scared to feel
Yeah, I want to know what's real
What's been purified to heal my wounds
Tell me is it you?
Tell me is it you?
Tell me is it you?
Tell me is it you?
