To Understand Lyrics - Matthew Sweet

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...
