Matthew Sweet – To Understand lyrics

I want another mind,
So I can talk to my self.
And try to explain,
How my other life felt;
Where I could never keep up with demand.
You know I always tried my best to understand...

I'm waitng every day with this small love of mine.
And I can only pretend to know what keeps it alive, alive.
I mean, when I held it in my hand,
You know I always did my best to understand.

I missed it...

(solo)

I understand...

Even when I held you in my hand,
You know I always tried my best to understand.

Even when I held you in my hand,
You know I always did my best to understand.

Understand...

(fade)

You know I'm tired but I want to understand...

You know I'm tired but I want to understand...
