Colette Lyrics
All I wanted was a good song and a fair friend
You came along just then
You gave me crazy love And you whispered
you've got a bottle and nobody that you're missing
I wasn't much of a fighter or a lover
You said don't get excited but take cover
We stepped into the light
Took pictures of each other
Some were in black and white
The others were in color
Colette, I knew the second we met
You'd go to my head
I took a breath and lept into the atmosphere
I guess it was something you said
We're wrestling with death
Well it must seem pretty clear
That I love you
Yes I do
All I wanted was a good song and a fair friend
You came along just then
You gave me crazy love And you whispered
you've got a bottle and nobody that you're missing
I wasn't much of a fighter or a lover
You said don't get excited but take cover
We stepped into the light
Took pictures of each other
Some were in black and white
The others were in color
Colette, I knew the second we met
You'd go to my head
I took a breath and lept into the atmosphere
I guess it was something you said
We're wrestling with death
Well it must seem pretty clear
That I love you
Yes I do
Here she comes
Oh!
Here she comes
Colette, I knew the second we met
You'd go to my head
I took a breath and lept into the atmosphere
I guess it was something you said
We're wrestling with death
Now it must seem pretty clear
That I love you
Yes I do
You came along just then
You gave me crazy love And you whispered
you've got a bottle and nobody that you're missing
I wasn't much of a fighter or a lover
You said don't get excited but take cover
We stepped into the light
Took pictures of each other
Some were in black and white
The others were in color
You'd go to my head
I took a breath and lept into the atmosphere
I guess it was something you said
We're wrestling with death
Well it must seem pretty clear
That I love you
Yes I do
You came along just then
You gave me crazy love And you whispered
you've got a bottle and nobody that you're missing
I wasn't much of a fighter or a lover
You said don't get excited but take cover
We stepped into the light
Took pictures of each other
Some were in black and white
The others were in color
You'd go to my head
I took a breath and lept into the atmosphere
I guess it was something you said
We're wrestling with death
Well it must seem pretty clear
That I love you
Yes I do
Oh!
Here she comes
You'd go to my head
I took a breath and lept into the atmosphere
I guess it was something you said
We're wrestling with death
Now it must seem pretty clear
That I love you
Yes I do

HOLY SHIT DAMN!!!! I effin fuckin' want to CRY everytime i HEAR THIS SHIT!!! I just saw Langhorne last night....He pulled everyone up on stage and we all danced and sang to tambourines and MAGIC......it was RADASSTACULAR..is all
I think the line is "we'll rest when we're dead" not "we're wrestling with death" . At least, I hope it is. It's so good that way.
his emotion is hard to resist, see him live and you will understand. i will never lose my passion for life, every time i hear this song im reminded to never lose my passion.
@Classicalposes It's both, actually. On the recorded version it's "We're wrestling with death," though in a few live performances we're "We'll rest when we're dead." It just depends on what you're listening to.
This is a great song though. One of my favorites.
