Understand Lyrics by Blue October

Understand

Oh
If I cant crawl inside of you
Im laughing with a broken face
I stumble across my self-esteem
But your picture of pleasure is making me want my space
Understand
That God wrapped you like a bow
But in my head theres some shelves that need cleaning
From basement to ceiling
Control

If what youre seeing is an open book
Thats great,
Well Im an open book
But Im real shy
Now theres a part of me seeking
And desperately needing to open up
Thats strange
Because Im an open book
A confused boy

Im an automatic steeple
For depressed and lonely people
My heart while in its cage
Used to give and not receive a thing
But the only funny thing is
That I dont know how to give myself advice
I have this post-dramatic thing
Theres a tattoo of a ring
That lies around my wedding finger
And thats where I want to stake this claim
That I got to go live and dream
Before I go and get myself in love
in love
Before, before I go and get myself in love

Theres Zoloft, Wellbutrin, theres Paxil
Thats proven no side effects
But the rest left unnamed
Because they work like a charm on me
But when your savings is drying
You cant stop from crying
You got to suck it up
Youre not her butter cup
Youre not her favorite book

And Im an automatic steeple
For depressed and lonely people
My heart while in its cage
Used to give and not receive a thing
But the only funny thing is
That I dont know how to give myself advice
I have this post-dramatic thing
Theres a tattoo of a ring
That lies around my wedding finger
And thats where I want to stake this claim
That I got to go live and dream
Before I go and get myself in love
In love
Before, before I go and get myself in love
