sunlight when you wake up
fills the first breath that you take
of the air that we both share so well
slowly you begin to rise
and all the dreams left in my eyes
come true as far as i can tell
with lightning in your laughter
shining brightly after
you tell me all that's on your mind
morning brings the best of me
when all you are is next to me
and love is all i can find
and i want to understand
said i want to understand
'til then i'll watch you sleep
count each moment by your heartbeat
and pray that you'll be dreaming of me
with a whisper just like thunder
it's a spell you've got me under
a love so blind i just can't see
still i can't seem to close my eyes
and lie there under florida skies
i hear the raindrops dance in my mind
kind of like these teardrops
they fall and yet they fear not
the betraying trail they leave behind
i want to understand
yeah, i want to understand
i want to understand
see i want to understand
i don't understand baby
i want to understand
said i want to understand
it seems you want to hold my hand
but i know you love another man
and i just wanna understand
