Lay out in the yard, just once, and stare up at the stars with me.

Just for a second. Slowly you'll begin to understand. Only a little bit, though.

Take me to the lake in your truck.
We'll put down the tailgate and sit, staring out at the water at sunset.

Just for a minute. Slowly you'll begin to understand. Only a little bit, though.

Take me fishing and you'll see how afraid I am of touching the fish.
I love it, though. You drive. I'll ride.

Just for an hour. Slowly you'll begin to understand. Only a little bit, though.

Love me the best you know how.
It'll hurt. That's who I am. I cause pain.
I hate it. I'll try my best for you.

For a lifetime this time. Slowly you'll begin to understand. Only a little bit at first, and then everything.
