about

"Understand You. I never was great at writing love songs. Especially love like this. How do you capture the soft, safe-and-sound feeling of waking up next to someone you love? How do you capture the comfort of being around someone that is different than you in all of the most perfect, indescribable, and incomprehensible ways? The truth is...I just don't understand the way he is. I don't understand how he does what he does, organizing my chaos and quieting my anxiety. I love that he's different than I am. I love that he makes me feel things no one else can. Gosh...I love that I can't understand him."

lyrics

Red heels, black dress
The picture sits close to your mattress
In a hand painted picture frame that I made
Shiny shoes, suit jacket
I’ve seen how you stare at it
I will never understand you

The room’s dark, the blinds pulled
If you weren’t holding me I’d be cold
Your face is soft, you’re clutching my palm
The sound of your breath keeps me calm
And if I, I woke you
You wouldn’t sleep again until I did, too
I will never understand you

Red candles and golf tees
I like how you collect things
All your ducks are in a row
And over there on that chair you folded my clothes
I will never understand you

‘Cause I lose track and I drop things
Never been on time for anything
But you said, in this very bed
“Time isn’t real, you silly head”
I will never understand you

And over there in that locked box
There’s bullets, poetry, and some pretty rocks
My birthday is the combo to the lock
You make my hands calm
You make my stomach unknot

And in the window I love the dawn breaks
This apartment is my favorite place
‘Cause you never make me question
While I struggle with these expressions
But you organize my chaos
You love me like my mom does
I will never understand you

I hope I never understand you.
