The Ninth Wave – Collapsible People lyrics

[Verse 1 - Haydn, Both Haydn & Millie]
Collapsible people
Folding under the weight of better times and broken spines
You crumble to tears, but you're never here
A poise to appear, like you could

[Chorus 1- Both]
Never crave attention
You have a need for false affection
You love every passer by
Self-inflicted tension
You're full of back and forth contentions
You love every passer by

[Verse 2 - Both]
Fall, stumble on words
'Cause nothings unheard
But could you go and stand on your own?
A place in the crowd
A place to back down
Another wish to be alone
Wish to be alone

[Chorus 2 - Both]
Do you crave attention?
You have a need for false affection
You love every passer by
Self-inflicted tension
You're full of back and forth contentions
You love every passer by

[Bridge - Both]
You seem to forget, that infectious words
Are words to regret, infected and proud
A part of the crowd
Wondering how?
You could, keep up face
Oh-oh-oh-oh

[Outro - Both]
Do you crave attention?
You have a need for false affection
You love every passer by
Self-inflicted tension
You're full of back and forth contentions
You love every passer by
You love every passer by
