Take it from me as a traveling man,
Still doing the things you can't understand.
I've been walking around with our love in mind,
And every thought leaves unsatisfied.
You're still chasing the house with the picket fence;
While I go to sleep on an asphalt bed.
A river of fears, concerns so deep.
A thrift store love, sold downstream.
If it's a joke it's wearing thin,
I know you hate my friends.
But if I started in on that, would you understand me?
Would you understand?
Could it be too late to change my plan?
To steal that silver ring right back off your hand.
We're closer apart and we're blessed and cursed.
We promised the best but we lied in the church.
If it's a joke it's wearing thin,
I know you hate my friends.
But if I started in on that, would you understand me?
I never cared to call your bluff, which was punishment enough;
But if I started in on that, would you understand me?
Would you understand?
