Blue October Understand Lyrics

Understand Lyrics

Oh

If I cant crawl inside of you

Im 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 youre seeing is an open book

Thats great, 

Well Im an open book

But Im real shy

Now
theres a part of me seeking

And desperately needing to open up

Thats strange

Because Im an open book

A confused boy



Im 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 dont know how to give myself advice

I have this post-dramatic thing

Theres a tattoo of a ring

That
lies around my wedding finger

And thats 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



Theres Zoloft, Wellbutrin, theres Paxil

Thats proven no side
effects

But the rest left unnamed

Because they work like a charm on
me

But when your savings is drying

You cant stop from crying

You got to suck it up

Youre not her butter cup

Youre not her
favorite book



And Im 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 dont know how
to give myself advice

I have this post-dramatic thing

Theres a
tattoo of a ring

That lies around my wedding finger

And thats where
I want to stake this claim

That I got to go live and dream 

Before I
go and get myself in lov
