The Understanding

Boy we get so excited pointing fingers each day

Don't take the time to, even blame me

No, we'll give it away

The expectations that we're painting

They go from paisley to white

I see right through them, stand up to them

Oh and I'm up for the fight

Chorus 1:

And with these eyes, I never see right

Ooh, When I look in the mirror

I'm lost in golden red and blue

I'm losing ground standing up to you

And, I Understand more than I want to

And, I stand more than I choose

And under these eyes I'm busted

But I'm Understanding you

It's the Understanding, that kills me

So I return into my head

and I begin to see

This image is not the place for me

Is it someplace for you?

'Cause the destination is never changing

When I guess, a change could do

When I try to move I fall, try to hold you and I lose it all
