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.

Slowly, You'll Understand
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.
