twenty miles up vandeschere i’ll park
inside the grass and watch the hillside get dark
and rollin down my window I can feel
the wild underneath burying my wheels
and I guess I understand a little better now
how lovin you is drowning in a field
how I can break it down but I will never see out
of this mystery
so I left the hill for the orchards and the barn
I stood and listened to the pounding of their hearts
and I wondered if they thought about the day
what does it mean
what is this real estate sign that says for sale
and I guess I understand a little better now
how lovin you gets mixed up with success
i get so afraid of selling you my failure
i forget to give my best
but i will never know you
and i’m lying when i write this i don’t understand
and if i fall in love it won’t be like i planned
these aren’t my words
they’re not my notes
they’re not my songs
they’re not my hands
but i will never know you
until i understand that i will never know you
