I don’t know if it’s been 24 hours or 24 years since I've been here
But I know that you've tamed me even though we’re still wild
Just meet me in the morning for a song and a smile
And I will hold your hand
Try to let you know I understand
You stare into my eyes if you can
Try to let me know you understand
You say good morning and tell me that you are fine
Though you spent all night in pain and tomorrow you’ll be crying
But I don’t think that truer words have yet been said
For the joy found in your smile is what finishes us the best
And I will hold your hand
Try to let you know I understand
You stare into my eyes if you can
Try to let me know you understand, even if I can’t
We have different eyes, arms, stomachs, lungs, and shirts
But we’re learning the same language slowly until it hurts
For me it’s finding my patience when I’m stepping in your poo
For you it’s growing from the ground blossoming into a truer you
And I will hold your hand
Try to let you know I understand
You stare into my eyes if you can
Try to let me know you understand,
Even if I can’t, you still understand, even if you can’t, I will understand, even if we can’t, you still understand, even if we can’t, we will understand
Even though it feels like I smoke a pack a day,
I’d go through endless cigarettes if it meant that I could bi-locate
That is to stand in the same places that my heart seems to be
When I can see all of your faces then I know that I am free
And I will hold your hand
Try to let you know I understand
You stare into my eyes if you can
Try to let me know you understand
And I will hold your hand
Try to let you know I understand
You stare into my eyes if you can
Try to let me know you understand,
Even if I can’t, you still understand, even if you can’t, I will understand, even if we can’t, you still understand, even if we can’t, we will understand
