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
